How to uninstall python windows

Windows 7 64-bit, with both Python3.4 and Python2.7 installed at some point :)

I’m using Py.exe to route to Py2 or Py3 depending on the script’s needs — but I previously improperly uninstalled Python27 before.

Py27 was removed manually from C:\python\Python27 (the folder Python27 was deleted by me previously)

Upon re-installing Python27, it gave the above error you specify.
It would always back out while trying to ‘remove shortcuts’ during the installation process.

I placed a copy of Python27 back in that original folder, at C:\Python\Python27, and re-ran the same failing Python27 installer. It was happy locating those items and removing them, and proceeded with the install.

This is not the answer that addresses registry key issues (others mention that) but it is somewhat of a workaround if you know of previous installations that were improperly removed.

You could have some insight to this by opening «regedit» and searching for «Python27» — a registry key appeared in my command-shell Cache pointing at c:\python\python27\ (which had been removed and was not present when searching in the registry upon finding it).

That may help point to previously improperly removed installations.

Good luck!

Python is uninstalled differently in Windows and Mac.

Windows

To uninstall Python from Windows, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Control Panel.

  2. Click “Uninstall a program”, and a list of all the currently installed programs will display.

  3. Select the Python version that you want to uninstall, then click the “Uninstall” button above the list – this has to be done for every Python version installed on the system.

Mac

For Python 3 and above, first, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to the Finder.

  2. Click on Applications in the menu on the left.

  3. Find the Python folder with the version number you want to uninstall, right-click it, and select “Move to Trash”.

Depending upon the process of installation, Python may or may not be present in the Applications folder. If it’s not perform the steps in the next section.

Removing additional files from the Terminal

Moving the Python application to trash will not remove Python entirely. Furthermore, a built-in Python distribution may not appear in the Applications folder. So we’ll have to use the Terminal to uninstall it manually.

First, open the Activity Monitor and close all processes related to Python in the Memory tab. One such process is the Python Launcher. Now we can proceed to the Terminal.

  1. Open the Terminal and navigate to your Library folder from your root directory:
＄ (base) Username:~ cd Library

Here, you can list the current folders in your Library using the ls command. Look for a folder named Python. Remove this folder with super-user privileges:

sudo rm -rf Python

Note: The operation requires your password in order to be completed.

Additionally, three more main directories have to be handled in order to remove Python. Move back to your root user directory and perform the following commands:

sudo rm -rf “/Applications/Python”
sudo rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/python

Note: We do not recommend this step for novice Mac users. The way Python files are distributed in your Library and cache may differ based on your use, and so, extra files may have to be deleted which you can search for in the Finder or manually in the terminal.
