Messed up Python install, how do I get it back?

Question

I downgraded to Python 3.7.15 using the tarball on their website. I downgraded because I needed to use an application that was only compatible with Python 3.7.*, well, now I can't uninstall it and it's for some reason set as the default installation. There is no rule for make uninstall so I need help figuring out what to do. I've tried manually deleting files to no avail, I have no idea where the rest of the program files are located, I could only find them in /usr/bin and /bin. I should add that the installation I had before still exists on my system, I just cant figure out how to use it or get rid of the downgraded installation.

OS: Arch Linux Architecture: x86_64

I tried make uninstall I tried manually deleting files I tried just using the install for Python 3.10.8 I was expecting to be able to use Python 3.10.8 as well as python 3.7.15.

Try to using anaconda

conda create -n envname python=x.x anaconda
