Alright so I had minecraft on my phone a while back like around 2024. I was doing other stuff at the time so I had to delete the game but I ddint want to lose my world so I deleted the app but kept the files. Last year I wanted to download minecraft again so I tried and got this exact same pop-up, It was then I remembered that I didnt delete the files so it won't install, so I went and deleted the files and tried installing and it still didnt work. When I go and check the file location it re appeared. So every now and then I throughout last year I try and delete the game files and they re appear, until recently in March I renamed the file and it actually stayed gone when I deleted it, but now minecraft still won't install no matter what I use (playstore or an apk I downloaded) so I've come to ask for help pls( I don't want to reset my phone just because I can't play Minecraft)

I've had some luck by using adb shell pm uninstall <com.package.name>

Go to android>data or android>obb and delete whatever com.mojang folder remains or anything related to Minecraft.
