Manually delete apps
Users can delete apps manually from their device unless the device’s DPC
restricts them from doing so. If the app is still available in the managed
Google Play store, the user can re-install the app.
Removing an app from the Device's
policy prevents new installs and updates of the app on that device. However
the app is not uninstalled automatically.
Delete apps
To delete an app from a user's device, call
Installs.delete.
Reclaim paid app licenses
Uninstalling an app doesn’t delete a user’s entitlement to the app. Call
Entitlements.delete to
dissociate an entitlement from a user and release the user’s license for the
app.
