How to Uninstall Python 3.10?
#1
Hi,

I've recently installed Python 3.11 (path C:\Users\user01\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311). I wanted to uninstall Python version 3.10 (path C:\Python310), but when I click on "uninstall" in the Windows program menu, it opens the folder "Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features", but the only uninstaller is for Python 3.11; there is no uninstaller for 3.10.

How do I uninstall Python version 3.10?

I use pyenv, which allows you to very simply install as many versions of python as you wish.
After doing so, you can choose which one you'd like for the global version,
then select the global version, or any other version you'd like for individual projects (using virtual environment).
see Snippsat's tutorial:
pyenv Simple Python Version Management

Just delete the folder the C:\Python310,it's no problem at all.
That there some tracers in registry is no problem,can run registry cleaner like in CCleaner,but not needed at all.
Windows see Python trough windows environment path, so that may bee to change to Pythonn 3.11.
py can be used to find/run all verisons,i have some as you see.
G:\div_code
λ py --list
 -V:3.11 *        Python 3.11 (64-bit)
 -V:3.10          Python 3.10 (64-bit)
 -V:3.9           Python 3.9 (64-bit)
 -V:3.8           Python 3.8 (64-bit)
 -V:3.7-32        Python 3.7 (32-bit)
 -V:3.6-32        Python 3.6 (32-bit)
 -V:3.5-32
 -V:3.4
 -V:2.7
 -V:2.1
 -V:ContinuumAnalytics/Anaconda39-64 Anaconda py39_4.9.2
 -V:ContinuumAnalytics/Anaconda37-64 Anaconda 4.7.12
 -V:ContinuumAnalytics/Anaconda36-32 Anaconda 4.3.14

pyenv is more for Linux/Mac Larz60,there is a Windows versions have not tried it.
Use of py(get installed when install Python) is easy to use on Windows.
G:\div_code
λ py --help
Python Launcher for Windows Version 3.11.0

usage:
py [launcher-args] [python-args] [script [script-args]]

Launcher arguments:
-2     : Launch the latest Python 2.x version
-3     : Launch the latest Python 3.x version
-X.Y   : Launch the specified Python version

The above default to an architecture native runtime, but will select any
available. Add a "-32" to the argument to only launch 32-bit runtimes,
or add "-64" to omit 32-bit runtimes (this latter option is deprecated).

To select a specific runtime, use the -V: options.

-V:TAG         : Launch a Python runtime with the specified tag
-V:COMPANY/TAG : Launch a Python runtime from the specified company and
                 with the specified tag

-0  --list       : List the available pythons
-0p --list-paths : List with paths
--------- ect

I addition to removing Python 3.10; I really want to remove the 3.10 version of Idle in the edit shell. When I go to edit a Python file using Idle, both versions 3.10 and 3.11 are in the list.

As suggested by snippsat

I could delete the Python 3.10 folder, and then run a registry cleaner; hopefully that will remove Idle 3.10 from the edit list.

It's just a shourcut right click and unpin,or just delete it.
Usally only begginers that use Idle for a while,it's not so good at all.
PyScripter(recommend) or Thonny are bettet alternatives for Idle replace.
For bigger Editors is VS Code (my choice) or PyCharm(Community free) ok.
