I’m trying to uninstall Python 3.10.

I've tried both commands below:

$ sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove python3.10
[sudo] password for henrique:

Note, selecting 'libpython3.10-stdlib' for regex 'python3.10'
Package 'libpython3.10-stdlib' is not installed, so not removed
Package 'libqgispython3.10.4' is not installed, so not removed

$ sudo apt-get remove python3.10

Package 'libqgispython3.10.4' is not installed, so not removed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 11 not upgraded.

But Python 3.10 remains installed.

$ which python3.10
/usr/local/bin/python3.10

$ python3.10
Python 3.10.0 (default, Oct 23 2021, 15:04:26) [GCC 9.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

Should I remove everything related to python3.10 in /usr/local/bin/ folder?

PS: I've installed it from source, I don't know if that makes any difference.

You are using the wrong tool for the job: Apt-get ONLY knows about deb packages. Apt-get has never heard of installing from source, and deb-package tools cannot help you with that.

You can use the deadsnakes PPA to install (and subsequently uninstall) python3.10 in Ubuntu 20.04 in a painless manner. https://launchpad.net/~deadsnakes/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

"Should I remove everything related to python3.10 in /usr/local/bin/ folder?"

Yes, that is the correct way to manually remove software that you manually installed.

Be very careful if you have more than one application installed in that directory. You don't want to remove something that you actually wanted to keep.

Manually installing and uninstalling software can be tedious and error-prone. Sorry about that. Those are two of the reasons that folks migrated to packages and package managers.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
