Uninstall Numpy From a Compiler

Some software programs act as a medium where we can make Python code found on Windows. These software programs generally do have access to the root.

There are several examples in Windows, like PyCharm or Anaconda. These applications usually have a list of the set of libraries in the system and are allowed to add/remove libraries by simply finding that option when interacting with the application’s User Interface.
