How do I uninstall Python 2.5.4 x86 on Win 7?

Question

I've got the problem with Python 2.5.4 x86 on Win 7.

Unfortunately, my installer doesn't offer uninstallation.

I played around with installing many python version, but I finally need only 3.X and "magically" there is this Python 2.5.4.

What can I do?

I try to avoid installing excess programs. I used GeekUninstaller (which is portable) and there I can see only Python 3.X. This version I need. — John Smith, Jan 17 '18 at 23:00
Do you need to uninstall it, or do you just need a different version to be available for use on that machine? Those are not the same thing. — Chris Johnson, Jan 17 '18 at 23:09
Well... I need 3.6 to open some script. Earlier versions can stay. — John Smith, Jan 17 '18 at 23:19
maybe check the location where Python *is* installed and being used (this answer should help get that: [How can I get Python path under Windows?](https://stackoverflow.com/a/647798/1248974)), then navigate to that location and see if there is an "uninstall" executable. Also, inspecting the installed programs in "Control Panel" might be helpful. — chickity china chinese chicken, Jan 18 '18 at 01:13
If there is no uninstallation option, then you can find that versions installer, reinstall it, then perform an uninstallation — OneCricketeer, Jan 18 '18 at 02:46

You start by running the installer for the python that you want to remove (python 2.5.4)

Then, you click remove python 2.5.4 and click finished

Next, go to Windows Control Panel and click Programs and Features

After that, find python 2.5.4 and uninstall it

I want to point that in Python 2.5.4 installer there is **no** uninstaller option. This Python mess is probably created or/and augumented by the fact that installed Anki (which uses Python 2.5) and AmeSIM (which uses Python 2.7). On top of that, today I installed Python 3.X. I need only Python 3.X. What should I do? – John Smith Jan 17 '18 at 22:58
2.5 and 2.7 were installed by other programs in the past. I also installed 2.5, 3.5, 3.7 manually recently. – John Smith Jan 17 '18 at 23:16
can you specify? – Hippolippo Jan 17 '18 at 23:17
What do you mean? What kind of data should I provide? – John Smith Jan 17 '18 at 23:27

Can you recommend what I should type in cmd? I'm fighting with this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/7r2ed5/yeelight_app_alternative/dstq4b8/ To be more precise: https://nofile.io/f/v3ZyK3j9Wtp/fluxee-master.zip This doesn't work with Python 2.X. – John Smith Jan 17 '18 at 23:33
@Hippolippo just check my comment before yours – John Smith Jan 18 '18 at 06:36
If the reason that you want to uninstall the old version is because the code doesn't work in it, then run it with the new version, if you do not no how I can post another answer that shows how. – Hippolippo Jan 18 '18 at 13:59
I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance. – John Smith Jan 19 '18 at 01:57
