#871: Uninstalling Python modules doesn't completely removes all related folders
and files
------------------------+---------------------------
Reporter: andreaerdna | Owner: osgeo4w-dev@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: Installer
Version: | Keywords:
------------------------+---------------------------
As an example, after installing, using and then uninstalling the module
python3-arrow, the {{{pyarrow}}} folder (containing a __pycache__ folder
with various .pyc files) is still present in the
{{{apps\Python312\Lib\site-packages}}} directory.
Since the {{{pyarrow}}} folder is not deleted, even if the pyarrow module
was uninstalled, the import of the pyarrow module doesn't fail, as it
should be instead.
