As I understand com.google.android.trichromelibrary is supposed to be a webview replacement in android 10+
find /data/app -type d -iname "*trichrome*" -exec du -hs {} \;
70M /data/app/com.google.android.trichromelibrary_475808733-hbwaY4KXRVEdoKq10mzzfQ==

After uninstall

4 instances ? for the same app. Why ? I manged to remove 2 of them using pm uninstall so as to keep just 1 - but I get the below error, after being stuck with 2 instances remaining instead of 1.
pm uninstall com.google.android.trichromelibrary_484407333 <
Failure [DELETE_FAILED_USED_SHARED_LIBRARY]
My Questions
-- Why 4 instances of the same app. Is it by design ? How do I know which app tried to install the additional instance of trichrome library and why did it do so when 1 exists
-- This happened in the past too. How do I prevent recurrence. So I dont have to clean up everytime.
-- Other than brute rm -rf on the un-wanted folder anyway I can uninstall the unwanted instance
