No port command will get rid of this file/directory when it is not
provided by a MacPorts port. You will have to clean it up manually.

This file is definitely not coming from the current version of
py36-scipy. I assume you used 'sudo pip install' before (or some script
did) and that installed python packages directly into the MacPorts prefix.

The simplest solution is to just move this directory away:

sudo mv
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages/scipy-0.19.1.dist-info
~/Desktop/
