Uninstall / reinstall system apps W10M - Windows 10 Mobile

I am trying to figure out a way to uninstall or reinstall a system app that's broken. In my case the OneDrive app didn't open anymore, and updating it or install a new OS build didn't help. I realize that a hard reset would probably solve the problem but that's very time consuming compared to be able to just uninstall OneDrive and install it again.
I have tried using the winappdeploycmd.exe but the OneDrive package can not be uninstalled "on a per-user basis".
My phone is bootloader unlocked so I connected it in mass storage mode and deleted the corresponding folders in C:\Data\Winapps but the OneDrive package is still listed as installed byt winappdeploycmd and in Store on the phone.
Any ideas what folder or files I have to delete to make the app completely uninstalled?

Install InteropTools(and dependency) > Go to "Applications" > Package List > Tap and hold > uninstall.

Or deploy a dummy ondrive.

Deploying dummy will not help but re-provisioning easily solves problem.

So, put here the provision file.

Thanks, but when tap and hold there it shows no menu or options. How do I re-provision?

You need to use the Beta 1.9 pre-releases to have the uninstall option. Don't use the beta 1.8.1 for this.

I assume you mean ADM (Android Device Manager), not ADB. If ADM is enabled on your device, it'll show up on the bottom. However, Google Settings are linked to whatever version of Google Play Services you have, and the version enabling the Android Device Manager feature is undergoing a staged rollout. Give it a few days and you should see it come up.
How to set up Android Device Manager:
1. Log into Google Play from a web browser.
2. Click on the Gear (Settings) image on the right.
3. Select Android Device Manager from the drop down list and test it.
4. Select send notification to device.
5. Open notification about ADM on device.
6. Install ADM.
7. This will set up ADM as a Device Administrator and open up settings.
8. Choose your settings. (Location and Remote Wipe)
Now, if you go to Settings > Security > Device Administrators there you will see Android Device Manager.
Done.

I uninstalled Google Play and Google Play service and reinstalled them, then I finally got ADM activated.

[Q] How to delete downloaded system update and prevent future updates/notifications?

Im still on KitKat and want to stay that way, but my N7 has automatically downloaded Lollipop and has the notification to install. How can I remove this notification, delete this update to free up space, and prevent it from happening again?
I know this must have been covered someplace else, but Ive spent the last 20 minutes searching and havent found a definitive answer....
Thanks!
I got this from some thread here.
Depends if you are rooted or not.
If rooted, you need to disable 3 receivers. To do so use one of the apps:
Autorun Manager, or
Autostarts (free in F-Droid).
The 3 receivers to disable :
service:com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver
(this will run on boot competed).
com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$ActiveReceiver-
(this will check for OTA on connectivity change).
com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver
(this will check for OTA when your phone "handles" the secret code).
.........
If not rooted, I "think" you can go to
Settings / apps
Go to All tab
Select "Google Play Services" and unselect "show notifications".
This second method has some disadvantages but I don't remember what they are.
Hope this helps.
I'm in autostarts and seemingly have all of these disabled (I am rooted) as seen in the screenshot, but still getting the update notification (as also seen in the screenshot).
Thoughts?

Bump for an answer. Would like to know this too
I found this yesterday:
Download System Tuner, free from google play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.pmw&hl=en)
Open App
Click Startups
Navigate to Google Play Services - If you do not see this in the list, press add in the bottom right hand quarter and navigate to it
press and hold over Google Play Services
Press Open
Press Details
Press Activities
Navigate to update.SystemUpdateActivity and uncheck it
restart phone
This did the trick for me. I am unsure whether this also removes other notifications from google, but it certainly got rid of the annoying "system update downloaded" notification.
Or better still if you are using xposed framework download the NotifyClean module. Let the Update System notification appear after a reboot and then select it in NotifyClean to get rid of it. Brilliant!

Unless I'm mistaken, all this is doing is hiding the notification. While that's great, the notification currently says "System update downloaded", so my assumption is space is being taken up by this download which I'd really like to clear up.
With the issues many have reported running Lollipop on the N7, I'm really surprised there isnt a common, well known process for this.
Then try my message #5 above.

Can't sideload apps - Lumia 550

I've tried this guide, but t doesn't help. (yes .xap).
Head to Settings > Update & Recovery and tap on “For Developers“
You will find three options here. Choose the second one which lets you sideload apps from other sources.
Next, transfer/copy the appx file of the app to your Phone/SD Card storage.
Browse to the file via File Explorer, tap on the file and it will throw an install prompt.
If you really want to give it a try, tap Install else tap cancel.
If all goes well, you will find the app under the app list under 20 sec.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And this:
Head to Settings > Update & Recovery and tap on “For Developers“.
Under Device Portal, turn on remote diagnostics over USB and LAN connections.
You can either turn off Authentication or turn on it. Turning it off eases things a little bit.
After turning remote diagnostics On , It will provide an IP Address to connect to.
Enter that IP address either in W10 Mobile Edge browser or any PC Browser(depends on where you have appx to install). Make sure your phone is unlocked.
After authenticating to device portal page click Apps Section on the Top Left hand Side.
Under the Install App division Click Browse to select the Appx/Appxbundle you are about to install.
After adding the Appx/Appxbundle just Click “Go” button and that’s it.If all goes well you can find your app under app list.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That may be the problem?
You can't install xap by this way.
You must use
XapDeploy.exe from SDK 8.0 (xap 7.0, 7.1, 8.0)
or
AppDeploy.exe from SDK 8.1 (xap 8.1)
Thanks, now i'm happy

I'm also experiencing this problem. I think a recent messenger update may have broken it. I'll let you know if I find a fix.

The problem is caused by a recent update of Messages breaking something. I solved the problem by reverting to an older version using the following steps:
1. Disable automatic updates in the play store on both your watch and your phone.
2. Uninstall Messages from both your watch and your phone.
3. Go to apkmirror.com and get Android Messages version 2.1.167. Pick the apk that is appropriate for your phone and install it, then open it up and make it your default SMS app.
4. Get Android Messages (wear) version 2.1.167.
5. Install it on your watch by enabling adb and using the command adb install [file path to apk file]
6. Before you start messages on your watch, go to settings -> apps and give it all of the permissions that it wants.
7. Everything should work now.

I tried exactly as you post it but in the end the command didn't saw the APK on the file. As saying that "there's no apk on file"
I did it, I was doing the commands all wrong xD
Now thanks to you I can send messages over the watch. Thank you very much for the very detailed explanation and resources.
I updated the app to the latest version and the issue seems to be fixed.

Go to Settings -> Apps -> 3 dots Configure apps -> Special access -> Draw over other apps
One of the apps listed here is the problem, try to disable one by one until the problem is fixed.

If you are running on marshmallow(6.*) Ignore that, first restart the phone on safe mode and then do what this member said(i had the same problem before nougat) or just give the app permissions while you are in safe mode.
Thanks for the reply.
I appear to be a bit different. 3dot menu has show system, sort by size and Reset app preferences.
Gear menu has Draw over apps. Unfortunately when I select Draw Over apps I find that all of the apps with the exception of a recently installed one are disabled.
My feeling is that I have had some time of File permissions SNFU that pretty much farked everything. At the moment I can not access files on a computer via usb and am not even able to read my SD directly from a computer.
Any suggestions on fixing hosed permissions or other would be extremely helpful.
