I'm afraid that's not possible. While Windows does not depend on Python, my job does, and so do several applications that I need... and if I delete an entry that Python 2.7 happens to rely on, the consequences could be serious.
I searched the drive for references to Python, and there are indeed a lot of them. When I have time, I'll go through them and delete any that clearly relate only to Python 3.5. (It will probably take a good part of a day.) I'm not optimistic that I'll get them all, though. If there's an alternative approach, I'd welcome it.
Micseydel, a newer version of Python is, unfortunately, also not an option at this point. I've got both a laptop (this machine) and a desktop computer for work, and need both. Python 3.5 is already installed on the desktop. If I install 3.6 on the laptop I'll have to install a separate set of packages for 3.6, with a separate set of quirks and bugs, and some of them may not even be available yet. I will have to stick with the same minor version on both machines until I'm prepared to upgrade both.
