In the future, I suggest you to always install/upgrade biopython via
easy_install.

Executing this from a command line:
$: easy_install -U biopython

is the easiest way to install and upgrade biopython along with all its
dependencies.
As for your problem, it should be enough to delete the folder where
you have installed biopython 1.45 (please someone correct me if I am
wrong).

It seems that manually installing biopython using the instructions you
posted puts all the scripts in the same directory; in my case (I am
running an Ubuntu), it installed everything on
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Bio .
So basically, the manual installation you did has overwritten the old
biopython you had installed on your computer... so you don't need to
do anything to remove it.
I suggest you to always use easy_install to install new python
modules, as it is supposed to be the standard way and it creates a
distinct directory for every module and every version.
