can't uninstall Python 3.6 on windows 10

I installed python 3.6.2 recently on my windows 10 machine, but I cannot seem to uninstall it at all

The error I get is:

enter image description here

No python 3.6 installation was detected

then

0x800070643 Fatal error during installation

Things I tried

  • c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python > delete folder, app still shows up
  • Revo uninstaller > uninstall python 3.6
  • Uninstall app normally through "add or remove" programs
  • Delete Python36 environmental path
  • Some combinastion of repair+modify and then uninstall... no go

How do I fix this?

I haven't tried doing any registry edits or using restore points yet though


Solution 1:

Solution:

UNHIDE ALL FOLDERS BEFORE FOLLOWING DOWN...

  1. Go to C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Programs
  2. Delete Python Folder
  3. Go to Control Panel >> Uninstall a Program
  4. Right Click on Python and then Change/Modify
  5. Click on Repair Python. Note: This may or may not fail, but be patient
  6. Now Again go to step 3
  7. Now, after step 3, uninstall Python

Congratulations!! Uninstalled!!

Now Install a new fresh version

Happy Coding! Happy Programming!!

Solution 2:

It's also possible to execute the python3 installer again, you get option to repair or uninstall. Just choose uninstall, it will be done properly.

Solution 3:

I just used a restore point didn't have to edit registry

Solution 4:

I uninstalled first which removed it from the list but none of the files. Go to the folder and delete and then delete from the start menu - seems to work.
