I understand the frustration. I also agree with the idea of uninstall and start over.
My suggestion for a platform is to install Anaconda. It comes with a range of tools and environment management software that helps with your directory/folder management.
The most popular IDE currently appears to be VSCode. It is included in the Anaconda distribution. Spyder is another relatively easy to use IDE included, and you also get Jupyter Lab and Jupyter Notebook which are widely used, especially in data analysis and artificial intelligence. They also make it easier to learn to program.
If you go the VSCode route, there are a number of Youtube videos that cover setting it up for Python in a step by step manner, giving you lots of tools for monitoring variable values, code completion suggestions.
Good luck and keep asking questions. We will help as we can
