I can't uninstall micro g core services, it is not in the app list or system app list.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Install micro g core services through neo store and then you find out that you can't uninstall through neo store or through looking in apps list or system apps list.

Expected behavior I thought that I could uninstall it and easily go back to using the official Google play services

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

System Android Version: 10 on a rooted/bl unlocked galaxy note 9 n960u

Additional context I already had official gapps installed in this firmware. It is an official, patched firmware for bootloader unlocked note 9 devices in the USA. I mistakenly installed micro g core services by mistake and it caused Google one vpn to stop working without me realizing it at that time. But it had been a few days since I installed micro g core services and that correlates to how long the vpn has been down. Any assistance to get back to official Google apps would be appreciated. And if I can do that without flashing through Odin then that would be even better because I have this phone setup and it will be a pita to setup again lol

It is strange that microG would even install since it has a different signature from the existing com.google.android.gms. Check the version for Google Play services in the system apps list. Does it match a microG version? If not...

More than likely the installation failed but something broke in the attempt(???).

Testing other Google and dependent apps is a good way to find out if microG was installed over the original. A lot of things would break not just the VPN.

If your ROM was with GApps it is impossible that you have installed microG (with normal app installation). It is possible that when you have installed it, it was saying failed and you didn't noticed it.

Please check in the list of apps (the one in Android settings, not the one inside Neo Store / F-Droid) what you have currently installed.
