New description:

 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.

 Also previously reported #861.
