Unable to remove Python3.5

Question

My machine has both python3.5 and python3.6 installed in the base environment. I had to remove python3.5 because of some reasons. I tried removing it by command - sudo apt-get remove python3.5 and sudo apt-get purge python3.5 .

It shows python3.5 is removed from the system. But when I run some program using python3.5 it is still running.

How to remove python3.5 completely from the machine?

Answer 1

You remove python3.5-minimal (as root) with:

apt remove python3.5-minimal

Review the output to ensure you are cool with dependencies also being removed before proceeding.
