I was able to rm all instances of python that were listed in the Python: Select Interpreter command and then test this item. Thanks for help.

it looks like I can still run Python files

• What is the command being used to run it?
• What is the path to binary that it’s using, is that deleted? Use python -c"import sys;print(sys.executable)" to get the full path.

An alternative could be to run Python: Select Interpreter command and delete every binary file listed there.
