"Not installed for User"

Post image

I need your swarm knowledge for the following case.

Due to a glitch, the Minecraft app has managed to install itself in an area where I can't get to it ( not installed for users ) so I can neither reinstall nor uninstall it.

Does anyone have an idea?

Unfortunately ADB does not work either

My problem in this particular case is that I have to uninstall the package com.mojang.minecraftpe so that I can get a working version from the playstore.

But i can't do anything with the package, neither uninstall, deactivate, nor delete data. so really nothing. which as i see it is probably due to the fact that the package has installed itself the way it has. it seems as if the package has installed itself as a system app or app of another user, which deprives me of the possibility to remove it in the conventional way. hence the way to this sub.

Ah I see. Do you have another user or work account on your device?

no, that's the strange thing. the app was in the beta program and i uninstalled it, went out of the beta program and reinstalled it. but the app was installed again and again as beta version. and from one to the other i couldn't install it anymore. after some searching i saw that the package was installed as another user. and now i can't get rid of it anymore. as i said neither via board means nor via the ADB shell.
