Unable to unistall python from the system - fatal error during installation


I am trying to uninstall the python from my system. However, I am getting on error each time - Setup Failed - Fatal error during installation.

Versions - 3.6.8 and 3.6.0

What I have tried so far - Removed the environment variables Deleting the python folders from the C:\Users**\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\

But nothing is working. I need to clean up my system and freshly install only one version.

Error


Solution

  • I would suggest repairing instead of installing. Deleting folders from your system would cause issues with the uninstallation process trying to find and delete all python on your system. Your best bet is to repair it to a working state, then delete it so the uninstall program finds everything and deleted everything properly. Don't delete anything on your own.
