I had python version 3.8.2 installed but it was version 32bit so I uninstalled it but after uninstalling when I type python --version in cmd it showed like this,

enter image description here

Then I used Anaconda prompt and typed python it showed like this,

enter image description here

So I'm a bit confused and I want to remove all the python versions so I can install the new version without any issues. And in the program files in control panel there is no Python 3.7.4 displayed. And I checked in the environmental variables and there is no variable related to python.
And if I enter only python in the command prompt then it opens Microsoft store.

So I have no way of uninstalling this, so please help me with this issue.

I think you had two python installations. Try these commands for uninstall python:

cd C:\Users\<you name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps
del python.exe
del python3.exe

And uninstall Anaconda this way: How to remove anaconda from windows completely?
