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