Hi!
Well in my case nothing proposed worked ad a solution.
The ghost android apps are not present anywhere in the .local/share/applications, none of the apk handlders are theirs.
Their name is actually not foundable by file manager

5

did you make sure to circumvent sandboxing when you checked? you have to use the terminal or start the file manager from terminal to see all files.

Well all other android apk file handlers appear, so i guess i can see them correctly in the .local/share/applications file, from app file browser.

7

No old .json files in ~/.local/share/apkd-bridge/sharing ?
