It depends on where the Python installation is located, but I would just
delete the entire folder tree at %APPDATA%\Python\Python3xxx.

If Python was installed for all users, its main set of files will
probably be in "c:\Program Files" and Window's "Add or Remove" page
should remove it.

If it was installed just for User A, then the "Add or Remove" page will
find it if run from User A's account. If for some reason User A will
not or cannot cooperate, the admin could change User A's password and
then run "Add or Remove". Of course the admin would not be able to
change the pw back, but if User A is not cooperating maybe that wouldn't
matter.

Hi,

Is there any way I can uninstall python installed (as user) in someone else' account - without login as that user, but login as local admin ?

Regards,
Yogesh.

It depends on whether you can use that user's password. With the
password, it's very feasible. Without it, some people seem to have
found ways. There some discussion of this here -

If Python was installed by user A in their own profile folder, it is likely
that it was installed just for that user. In this case, you may need to log
in as user A to uninstall Python from their profile. Have you tried logging
in as user A and uninstalling Python from there?

Hello,

Thank you for your response.

May I know how to uninstall it from user A profile – if user A is no longer available.

Is there any means - where I can use local admin account to uninstall the app (installed in User A profile, without user A’s intervention)

Regards,
Yogesh.

Currently when we try to uninstall it via admin/system account - it displays that the python product is not installed for this user (admin/system).

Appreciate your assistance.

If user A is no longer available, then an administrator can change the
password for User A and then, logged into the A account, perform the
un-install.
