Description

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

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported setup: Android 10 on a rooted, bootloader-unlocked Galaxy Note 9, with microG Core Services installed through Neo Store alongside official Google apps. Check whether the service appears in Neo Store or the system and app lists, and document whether it can be removed without reflashing through Odin. The issue mentions no source files or tests, so implementation scope is not yet defined.
