python - Despite uninstalling NumPy, importing NumPy does not produce a ModuleNotFoundError. Why?

Question

I completely uninstalled the NumPy package from my computer. Afterward, I attempted several NumPy functions, and as expected, they all produced errors.

Interestingly, though, the import statement doesn't produce an error.

How come I do not get "ModuleNotFoundError" when I attempt to import NumPy in this situation?

Just checked the paths, appears homebrew doesn't fully uninstall NumPy. It leaves a few remnant folders named "numpy", which appears to be causing this.
