You probably can't... The keyword being "WindowApps".
That version likely was installed using the Win10 "app store" (aka:
"microsoft store"). You can open that, click the ... and pick "my library",
pick "installed" and likely find a Python entry. But the appstore does not
allow one to delete downloaded apps! It MIGHT be removable if you locate a
"Python" icon on the start-menu and right click "uninstall" -- but make
sure it is not YOUR Python...
The simplest method would be to ensure YOUR Python is at the top of the
PATH environment variable so it is found first when searching for
applications.
