how to completely remove Python and all its libraries

I am having problem with python and would like to remove completely so I can install it again

I went to Add remove programs and uninstalled Coda Python and Python 3.8 that I already have

I thought by doing that I uninstalled it successfully

but after I install it again I found that all libraries already there and having same problems

I tried uninstall libraries through pip unistall tensorflow-gpu but python is stuck there and does nothing, I left my computer over night and still nothing happened.

So How to remove everything and start green field?

I've found this as an alternative solution. It's a more graceful removal of libraries

pip freeze | xargs pip uninstall -y

In case you have packages installed via VCS, you need to exclude those lines and remove the packages manually (elevated from the comments below):

pip freeze | grep -v "^-e" | xargs pip uninstall -y
