This is pretty much inevitable on Windows as there is no generic
support to handle this sort of situation. Python could attempt to do its
own special case handling (with a registered list of Python
installations and an arbitration/repair phase in the uninstaller) but it
would be a lot of work and quite fragile.
Just reinstall your preferred version. You may want to check which
extensions have been installed into Python so that they can also be
reinstalled if needed.
