How to remove a pip package installed with sudo -h

Question

My question is quite simple: I've installed virtualenv with the following command:

sudo  -H pip3 install virtualenv

It seems to be wrong, because in the tutorial that I watch pip downloads other stuff than on my pc.
How can I undo it?
Thx for your help and stay healthy!

This was duped to How do I detect and remove Python packages installed via pip? and Trying to create a python virtual environment but getting OSError, but it doesn't seem to be a duplicate of either. The first is about finding what Python packages to remove and removing multiple packages; this is about removing one, whose name is known. Also, pip and pip3 aren't equivalent on most Ubuntu systems. The second one is about doing something very different that happens to involve a command, as its first step, that solves this. — Eliah Kagan, Jun 24 '20 at 05:49
