Even if you told me to go to hell i will overcome that and i need to 
thank you because this indeed worked.

Why is this find / -name python3.4 -exec rm -rf {} \;

different from:

find / -name python3.4 | rm -rf

Doesn't any command take its input via STDIN or from a text file or from 
another's command output?

If the above was true then wouldn't linux displayed an error when i issued:

find / -name python3.4 | rm -rf
locate python3.4 | rm -rf

The fact that it hasn't and it has indeed deleted many files proved that 
rm as an other linux command can take input from another's command output.
