![Remove All Python Versions [Duplicate]](https://www.alledaags.nl/uploads/remove-all-python-versions-duplicate_1200.jpg)
CAUTION: All the below commands will COMPLETELY BREAK your OS.
I removed all version by doing :
sudo apt purge python-pip python-dev
sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/python*
sudo rm -rf /etc/python*
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python*
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/man/man1/python*
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/python*
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/pip*
Now when i try to install again :
sudo apt-get install python3
It detects it is already installed ?
Any idea how to complety remove old versions ?
thanks
The proper course of action after breaking your system so thoroughly is to re-install. You might be able to fix the system by running
dpkg -l | grep python # see what the system think's is installed
sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/python* /tmp/ # get rid of the apt database files
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install *list-of-packages*
where the list-of-packages came from the first command.
