can't uninstall Python 3.6 on windows 10












8















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:UsersUSERNAMEAppDataLocalProgramsPython > 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

  • Have you tried install and then uninstall?

    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.
