I'm surprised I haven't seen the suggestion to move the "/" to the
end of the entire command...it would certainly DELETE ALL REMAINS OF
PYTHON3.4 ;-)
Note1: DO NOT DO THIS unless you want to also DELETE ALL REMAINS OF
YOUR HARD DRIVE. But hey, Python3.4 would be gone in the process...
Note2: you're running commands you don't understand AS ROOT?!?!?!
You're just asking for trouble there.
Note3: since "locate" uses a cached DB of files for rapid finding,
and your process doesn't rebuild that locate-DB, they'll continue to
show up even after you eventually figure out how to successfully
remove the files. Use "find" for both purposes: deletion and
verification.
