How to idenfidy or uninstall the old Python version (invisible)?

Question

I have installed the latest 3.8 version on my laptop and it is running pretty well. However, when I tried to identify the version installed on IDLE, it showed: import sys print(sys.version) 3.7.6 (default, Jan 8 2020, 20:23:39) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)]

I have installed visual studio and have no idea if there would be any problem with the version installed, I assumed there were 2.

Thanks!

Thanks guys. Just need to delete the system PATH of the old python version. It won't installed automatically.

Answer 1

I see that you are running on Windows.

The short answer is that I bet that the location is somewhere around: C:\\Users\\userid\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\

(You have to change "userid" for something appropriate)

The long answer is that you can find the answer yourself

1. Type "IDLE" on the Start menu
2. Right-click on the application it has found on your computer
3. Select "Open file location" ] 1
4. In the Windows explorer, right-click on the IDLE shortcut
5. Select "Properties"
6. At the beginning of the field "Target", you should see the location of the "pythonw.exe" file.
7. "python.exe" should be right beside it.
