By using ADB. Connect your phone to your computer via USB and the command is: “adb uninstall com.aurora.store”. It removes Aurora Store.
I use Linux, but I suppose it is something like that for other platforms as well. You can uninstall any apps this way. If you want to list your apps use the “adb shell pm list packages” command, and then “adb uninstall PACKAGE.NAME”.
If you have sideloaded Aurora Store I suppose you have ADB installed on your PC, so it should be pretty straightforward. Here is a cheat-sheet: https://teamandroid.com/adb-commands-list/

Thank you so much !! That was super helpful trying to figure out how to use ADB in the first place was really confusing so this will help a lot <3

If you installed it through F-droid, you can remove it from the “installed apps” section

You could also consider not uninstalling the Aurora Store but simply excluding it from the app overview (via the Apps Layout settings). This would have the advantage of making it easier to uninstall apps installed via the Aurora Store.

I wouldn’t advise uninstalling Aurora Store or F-Droid if that’s how you got the apps. These are not just useful for installing apps, but for maintaining updates as well.
If you got a simple dummy app that works offline and has no bugs that’s ok, but for messaging apps and that it’s easier to update them through the store.

Thanks that’s something I didn’t really consider, I think I’ll just periodically install and uninstall the App Store, I mainly just don’t want the draw the continually download more apps whenever.
