Without logs showing what went wrong, there's nothing we can fix.

Before I read your comment, I ran disk clean up which deleted everything.

Interesting. I don't suppose you could find all the log files in your %TEMP% 
directory, put them in a zip file and attach them here? There may be some clue 
as to why this happened - it's certainly meant to clean everything up when you 
uninstall (except for site-packages, but definitely shortcuts and registry 
entries).

[issue29147] registry value to be cleared when python is uninstalled

jha.amit added the comment:

The start menu shortcuts and the files in installation path "C:\Program 
Files\Python35" are also present. The thing should go when python3.5 is 
uninstalled.

This can be solved when newer version of python, i.e., python 3.6 is 
installed/uninstalled. During this time, a prompt should be shown.

New submission from jha.amit:

I have installed python 3.5 on Windows and then uninstalled it. THe registry 
value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\3.5 is still present.

This is solved in python 3.6. So the work to be done here is: if there was any 
previous version of python installed and not present now, then the registry 
values should be cleared.

The behaviour of uninstallation of Python 3.6 is that the registry value is 
cleared.
