You cannot uninstall Python using pip.  It was not installed using it.

You probably should not uninstall Python 3.10.10. There are two 
possibilities:

1. The Snowpack programs will work with Python 3.10.  Just run them with 
"python". This is likely. I notice that its location is unusual, and I 
wonder how and why it got installed there.

2. For some reason, you have to use the Python 3.8 installation. Either 
find out where it is located on your system, and create a batch file to 
run it - you could name it "py38" and type "py38" instead of "python". 
Or you may be able to use the "py" launcher.  It will be there if Python 
was installed using the ordinary Python installer from python.org.  You 
would type "py -38" instead of "python".
