Unable to uninstall AWS CLI : Cannot uninstall requirement awscli, not installed

I was trying to install AWS CLI on mac but was facing some challenges as aws command was unable to parse the credential file. So I decided to re-install the whole stuff but facing some issues here again.

I am trying pip uninstall awscli which says

Cannot uninstall requirement awscli, not installed

So, i try pip3 install awscli --upgrade --user which gives me this:

I had a similar issue.

And I used the following command to fix it.

pip3 install --no-cache-dir awscli==1.14.39

You run pip3 install awscli but pip uninstall awscli. Shouldn't it be pip3 uninstall awscli?
