To delete a specific python version, you can use which python and remove the python folder using sudo rm -rf <path returned from the above command> . You might also have to modify the PATH env variable to the location which contains the python executables of the version you want.

Or you can install Anaconda [https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual] which helps to manage multiple versions of python for you.
