[issue39490] Python Uninstaller fails to clean up the old path variables when uninstalling

[Steve Dower]

It seems like it is, however, it sounds like the OP didn't restart PowerShell after the uninstall or reinstall, which is necessary (though not mentioned, but given it would usually be missed including text to that effect wouldn't have any impact anyway).

Basically, the installer correctly sends the system-wide notification that it has updated environment variables. PowerShell ignores it (quite correctly), which means we can't do anything to fix it.
