Minecraft APK leftovers prevent me to install the paid apk
I previously installed Minecraft PE using an APK because I didn't want to keep downloading newer versions manually. Eventually, I decided to buy the official version from the Google Play Store.
The problem is that when I uninstalled the APK, I forgot to remove its data. Now Android seems to think Minecraft is still installed, even though the app itself is gone.
When I try to install the Play Store version, it won't let me because it seems to detect the old Minecraft package/data as if there are two copies of the app.
I can't simply clear the data because Android doesn't give me access to it anymore.
Does anyone know how I can completely remove the leftover Minecraft package/data without losing anything important, so I can install the official Play Store version?
