Ionic 5 Angular: How to clear capacitor storage on app uninstall?

I have the problem that after uninstalling and reinstalling my app, the Capacitor Storage data from the uninstalled app is still available.

I use the standard Storage-Plugin of Capacitor. They say "Stored data is cleared if the app is uninstalled." But that's not the case with me on android.

How can Capacitor Storage be cleared when I uninstall an app?

Many thanks!

I know this is a very late answer, this answer may be helpful to other people like me.

Add android:allowBackup="false" in application tab in your AndroidManifest.xml file. It was true in my case, so the storage variable was returning true even after uninstalling the application.
