How can I delete a virtual environement created with

python3 -m venv <name>

Can I just remove the directory?

This seems like a question googling should easily answer, but I only found answers for deleting environments created with virtualenv or pyvenv.

Yes, delete the directory. it's where executables for the venv and modules and libraries and entire other stuff for venvs is kept.
