#871: Uninstalling Python modules doesn't completely removes all related folders
and files
------------------------+---------------------------
Reporter:  andreaerdna  |      Owner:  osgeo4w-dev@…

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.
