How to remove anaconda from windows completely

Question

I installed Anaconda a while ago but recently decided to uninstall it and just install basic python 2 7   I removed Anaconda and deleted all the directories and installed python 2 7   But when I go to install PyGTK for Windows it says it will install it to the c  users     Anaconda directory - this doesn t even exist  I want to install it to the c  python-2 7 directory  Why does it think Anaconda is still installed  And how can I change this

If a clean re-install uninstall did not work  this is because the Anaconda install is still listed in the registry    Start -  Run -  Regedit Navigate to HKEY CURRENT USER -  Software -  Python You may see 2 subfolders  Anaconda and PythonCore  Expand both and check the  Install Location  in the Install folder  it will be listed on the right  Delete either or both Anaconda and PythonCore folders  or the entire Python folder and the Registry path to install your Python Package to Anaconda will be gone
