Have a try.
Open the Boost App Info (tap the icon in the app drawer -> app info) -> Battery -> Allow background usage -> ON.

Try using Canta and Shizuku.
The apps work together to wirelessly 'uninstall for user' system apps with ADB.
You need Android 10 or above, and Wi-Fi.

sure, i can try.
shizuku is hard to start sometimes.
be sure you are on a private WiFi with a strong signal
open Shizuku.
select Pairing
use your home key to exit
(not your back key)
open developers options
find Quick Settings Developer Tiles
add Wireless Debugging to your quick settings
(the quick settings that you enter by pulling down from the top of your screen)
this will make things easier later on.
in developers options, find Wireless Debugging
turn it on with the switch
now tap the actual words Wireless Debugging
select Pair Device With Pairing Code
a pairing code will appear, and then a notification will come down from the top
use this notification to enter the code
if pairing is successful, a notification will state that you can now start Shizuku.
use your recent apps button to enter shizuku, and go back to the first screen, then tap Start.
in about 4 seconds it will be ready
open Canta, and wait for it to load information from GitHub.
it will let you see what apps should be eliminated.
also, you can tap individual apps on the list (tap the name) to get a description of the app
not all apps have any info
the green apps can generally be eliminated, although you want to be sure not to eliminate icons or colors, these can be brand specific.
My Motorola has a few of these, they generally have strange names like Ocean, Purple, Tangerine, etc.
there are multiple classifications of apps, and there are a few in the more dangerous categories that you may need to eliminate- so double check them all.
Also, be sure that you install a FOSS version of any stock utility app that you eliminate (clock, calendar, calculator, etc.)
Do not eliminate the stock file manager (Files, usually) or the stock launcher.
These are needed even if you use FOSS replacements, for proper function of these apps.
You CAN eliminate Files by Google, and i recommend that you do so.
That is basically it.
If you mess up and uninstall something important, you may not know until you restart the device.
Usually it will bootloop if something is wrong.
Sometimes you can get lucky and you can reinstall the app(s), avoiding a factory reset.
If this happens you will need to factory reset the device, and start all over.
(this has happened to me, it is not fun)
if you can back up your device before you start, it is recommended to do so.
It took me multiple tries to get things right, across a few different devices.
Every device is different, and you may find some apps will not uninstall.
For me, this was only on carrier locked devices.
(this is one reason i always recommend manufacturer unlocked devices)
