Unable to remove AWS CLI V1 from Windows10 Pro?

Question

I'm unable to remove aws cli v1 from my Windows10 Pro system. There is no entry in "Programs and Features", so I have no uninstaller to invoke. I've removed it from the all the known disk locations. I've run pip3, and it says that it has no `awscli` installed.  
  
Yet when I invoke `aws --version` from an (elevated) command prompt, I get this:  
```  
aws-cli/1.16.309 Python/2.7.18 Windows/10 botocore/1.13.45  
```  
  
I want to do this so that I can install and run V2. I jettisoned Python 2.7x ages ago.  
  
What am I missing? How do I get the old version of aws-cli off my system?

Sigh -- I found the answer. I'm leaving this here in case it bites anybody else.  
  
I apparently installed this forever ago using `pip` (instead of `pip3`).  
  
I therefore needed to run `pip uninstall awscli` in order to remove it.
