[Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/opt/microsoft/msodbcsql17/lib64/libmsodbcsql-17.7.so.2.1'

Question

Thanks in advance for the help .

Ubuntu system.
Python 3.7
Installed pyodbc.
Installed Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server (Linux Ubuntiu

Azure SQL Paas Service

I am trying to connect using pyodbc. The connection string I am using is:

DRIVER={ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server}; Server=XX; Database=XX; UID=XX; PWD=XX;

The error I get back is:

Error: ('01000', "[01000] [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Can't open lib '/opt/microsoft/msodbcsql17/lib64/libmsodbcsql-17.7.so.2.1' : file not found (0) (SQLDriverConnect)")

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver several times but no luck. Everything remains the same. May be I need to make a clean removing and install again but i can't find clear instructions for a good uninstallation. . In fact i can't find /opt/microsoft/msodbcsql17/lib64/libmsodbcsql-17.7.so.2.1
