I use to have idle. Then I downloaded Anaconda and opened idle through there. I have not used idle for a while but just recently went to go open it up and use it again. However, it seems I no longer have idle on my computer, to my understanding I can still get to idle through Anaconda but I forgot how. Is there a way to open idle through Anaconda without re-downloading idle? If so what command can I use to pull Idle up?

Search for this folder "idlelib" in the Lib folder of the Anaconda version you have installed and you will find idle (check its file type: "compiled python file").
Pin it to your taskbar and run.
