Different versions in python and no modules named pip

I put a lot of effort into this and things are even worst I am desperate as hell. Only what I wanted was to download with a pip module called PySimpleGUI and after, that things started to get worse and worse. I program plugins for blender and I wanted to execute another python file as a subprocess that needs PySimpleGUI for its running. So after the first not very successful attempt at solving the pip problem here(Why am I getting ImportError: No module named pip ' right after installing pip?), I decided to delete all the python files and versions on PC and start all over again with installing python. But even though I delete all the python files I still got a message in CMD about my version and that says my version is 3.9.10 although I installed 3.9.7. I removed all paths in env. variables and also all python folders from

C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Programs

C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming

C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Programs

and I think I deleted some folders also here out of desperation

C:\msys64\mingw64

Now if I try to write pip --version to CMD or python3 -m ensurepip (although I have installed python of version 3.9.7) this error occurs.

I have tried to install pip by installing it using blender python like this:

C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 3.0\3.0\python\bin\python.exe -m ensurepip

and then upgrade I upgraded it

C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 3.0\3.0\python\bin\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip

I seem to have had a similar problem, it seems to be a problem of mixing up multiple different Python interpreters. Blender has an embedded Python interpreter, this can be seen in your error message

C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 3.0\3.0\python\bin\python.exe: No module named pip, this is blender python not having pip, C:\WINDOWS\system32>python3 -m ensurepip is then ran but it's not the same python, here's the python version you installed.

Following this guide has worked for me, the main idea is to

cd C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 3.0\3.0\python

As you already attempted you need to run the module ensure pip (but with python blender). So:

.\bin\python.exe - m ensurepip

You can now run

.\Scripts\pip3.exe install PySimpleGUI

or whatever module and it should be accessible from within blender.
