Dear Python.org Support Team,
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to seek assistance with an issue I'm encountering while attempting to uninstall a corrupted Python installation on my system.
Details of my system:
- Operating System: Windows 10
- Python Version: 3.11.3(64-bit)
- Installation Method: installer from Python.org
Description of the issue: [Provide a brief description of the problem
you're facing, any error messages received, or specific steps you've taken
so far.]
I have already tried the following:
- Deleting python. removing corrupted files from command prompt with
administrative privileges.
However, despite my efforts, I have been unable to successfully uninstall
the corrupted Python installation.
The more stuff you remove by hand the harder it is for the Windows
installer to act to do an uninstall.
This tool usually helps if things are badly messed up:

Haven't used it for a while, but after it tries basic overall repairs to
the installation subsystem (which is probably okay), there are prompts
you can follow to point to a specific program that doesn't want to
uninstall.
