Bug: Two Python unistall strings available on Windows 10

[pstein]

In the past I installed Python v3.13.7 on Windows 10 into the directory

C:\Program Files\Python\

Later I installed v3.40 into the SAME directory. So the previous Python installation was overwritten.
It works.
However when I look at the list of possible uninstallations the v3.13.7 is still alive.
See attached snapshot

Why was this useless uninstall entry not removed?

I think this is a bug.
How can I get rid of it?

Should not do this always a new folder.

It's just a that registry value has not been clean up,usually no problem to leave as it.
Can manually remove with regedit(just search to get path to uninstall in registry),
or a uninstall tool will remove leftover.

Under Windows, it is also recommandable, at least for most users, to install Python via the Microsoft Store. The Python Software Foundation provides the packages there. This has two advantages: a) bugfix releases get automatically installed, b) multiple releases of Python can be installed conflict-free side-by-side, thus situations as described by the TS will not oocur.
