Its sounds more like "breaking" than "cleaning up" :-( You should never delete programs unless you know what they are for and what will be affected by it. > saving all .py and .txt files. > > I could reinstall Python 3.6 but not Python 2.7, getting an error mesage: > > a program required for this insatll could not be found. "insatll"? I doubt that was what the error message actually said. When reporting error messages, it is critically important to get them word-for-word exactly right. Please don't paraphrase them or type from memory. Please start by explaining: - What operating system you are using (Windows, Linux, Mac OS, something else?) - If Linux, which distro you are running (Red Hat, Debian, Ubuntu, etc)? - If Windows or Mac OS, what version? - Please try to COPY AND PASTE the FULL error message. I am pretty sure that even on Windows you can use the mouse to select the error message and copy it. - Does the error message say *which* program is missing? That is the most important information you need. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
