I'm surprised I haven't seen the suggestion to move the "/" to the end of the entire command...it would certainly DELETE ALL REMAINS OF PYTHON3.4 ;-) Note1: DO NOT DO THIS unless you want to also DELETE ALL REMAINS OF YOUR HARD DRIVE. But hey, Python3.4 would be gone in the process... Note2: you're running commands you don't understand AS ROOT?!?!?! You're just asking for trouble there. Note3: since "locate" uses a cached DB of files for rapid finding, and your process doesn't rebuild that locate-DB, they'll continue to show up even after you eventually figure out how to successfully remove the files. Use "find" for both purposes: deletion and verification. -tkc -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
