Research direction
The issue requests functionality to remove deleted apps from the AppManager's list of uninstalled apps. Investigate the source code to understand how uninstalled apps are stored and displayed (likely in a database or shared preferences). Look for classes related to 'UninstalledApp' or 'AppHistory' in the repository. Determine if there is an existing method to clear this list or if a new feature needs to be added. Check the app's settings or long press actions on uninstalled apps for any existing options.
