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: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
windows windows-10 python uninstall
