Hoping someone can help me, I removed aurora store after downloading all the tools I need (weather, podcast app, habit tracker, gboard) how do I remove fdroid? I am guessing its through my connection to WebADB via my windows laptop but I can seem to find it

I found a file in the webadb program that says org.fdroid.fdroid, would I delete this to get rid of it?

I’m not sure how it is done in webadb, but if you have the option to run your own commands it should just be adb shell pm uninstall org.fdroid.fdroid
Can find all packages with adb shell pm list packages
I see you beat me to your own answer lol. Though I’m not 100% if just deleting it is the same as running the uninstall command.

If I deleted this file nothing would happen to the phone right? like if I just tried? Seems like this is the file, and there is a delete option

Webadb doesn’t play nice with firefox+linux so I’ve never used it to be more helpful 
Deleting shouldn’t have any serious impact though. Worst case scenario might be artifacts left over, maybe the icon and stuff stays behind and just fails to open when clicking or something? Hopefully in the not too distant future I’ll have an apk packaged and maybe through that process I’ll learn a more definitive answer to give.

Deleted it did nothing lol, not a big deal I am sure someone will know how to do it, aurorastore is gone so thats good, I just want fdroid gone, once I got my sideloaded apps on I don’t want any type of store on the phone

I wrote this up as a guide for myself if I ever did this again. This is for linux I use debian. Raspberry pi OS would work!
To uninstall fdroid from kompakt (I would just leave it on the kompakt) you can follow this guide if you have linux if not I can’t help
Installing apks & apps for kompakt
*note text in quotes are commands you type into terminal for those who don’t know
Install adb on computer
“sudo apt install adb android-tools-adb”
Enable usb debugging
in about press the build number at least 7 times & go to developer options under system
enable usb debugging & then connect to computer accept phone prompt for debugging
check if device is exists and is ready
“adb devices”
if unauthorized may be necessary to disconnect revoke debugging under developer options and reconnect
Find and download apks move to home folder then install (apkmirror f-droid good sources)
“adb install F-Droid.apk”
To uninstall you need to find the name of the program on your device
To find programs installed call a search
“adb shell” then hit enter
“pm list packages”
note that most packages start with “com”
Somewhere in that list is the program you want to delete
Get out of shell simply start a new terminal session will do make sure your back at home
replace com.nameofpackage with the name of the package you want to remove
“adb uninstall com.nameofpackage”

This was a great auxiliary reference for me. I was using my own terminal rather than going through a website, but after installing powerman and adb dependencies i was good to go. Helpful article. Thanks
