You are sure you used "pip3" to install it ?

Is your RPi running the Raspbian Operating System?

Would the Add/Remove Software utility available via the drop-down menu system on the Raspberry Pi desktop GUI help with this requirement?

(Does it actually make a difference whether or not this Python library module is installed?)



Edit: as a follow-up, having checked with the utility mentioned above....

If you want to uninstall 'manually' using apt the names of the associated packages are python-twython-3.7.0-1 and python3-twython-3.7.0-1 .
