Android application delete - SQLite DB

Question

When i delete my application from my Android phone and reinstall the app again via Android Studio the application still has all the data from the old install.

I use SQLite database for data storage and i use the Shared Preference for some basic information.

How do you guys make sure the db is cleared when the app is deleted?

Would like to hear your insights!

@RajanKali a little bit, why is it that when i deleted the app myself the database was not deleted? Could this be because i was 'to quick'? — MESP, May 25 '23 at 05:59

Uninstall the app from your device or run:

adb uninstall <your_app_id>

from the terminal to uninstall the app.

This will remove the SQLite database and SharedPreferences.
