I think it should suffice to delete the: - matplotlib - mpl_toolkits - and scipy (for scipy I don't know if there are more packages) directories from C:\Python\Lib\site-packages. There is no more the uninstaller can do. Sometimes the packages also place a RemoveXXX.exe in the Python toplevel directory, but since it doesn't show up in the registry, I think this will not work. When your registry is clean, if I really would like to finally get "rid" of it, I would delete if it were my own machine. But I also would not like to "uninstall", but rather "hide", i.e., you can rename it to some sensible name, e.g. matplotlib -> matplotlib-10-08-09. Then you can reinstall the library with another version without interference, and the files are not lost until the installation is working finally. Finally, there may be some matplotlib-blahblahblah.egg-info and scipy-foobar.egg-info files in site-packages, where I don't know what they do precisely. They are just plain text files, containing meta-data about the package installed.
