I've got a Samsung 10.1 2014 which recently stopped recognizing the card in the SD card slot. Card is recognized fine by a PC, but in the tablet, nothing.

Apparently, some of my apps installed themselves to this SD card. At least that is my impression; all these apps now have lost their default icon which has been instead replaced by a transparent default Android icon with "SD" next to it. If I try to open them I get a toast message which says "Application not installed". I don't know anything about how to install or move apps to the SD card, so I assume it was done automatically by the Amazon app store, which is where all these apps were from.

Android itself doesn't recognize that these apps are installed. However, the icons are still there and I assume there must be some traces of them still present on the device (not on the SD card). I would like to get rid of all that by uninstalling. The Amazon App store says on device but not installed by amazon appstore but for some reason which is beyond me, Amazon chose not to implement any way to uninstall an app. I never knew there was an OS way to uninstall apps before this, as I always uninstalled directly from the app store that I installed it from. So Amazon's behavior is puzzling to me.

I have read this related question asking how to uninstall but the answers which don't talk about how to do it from Android directly (which won't work for me) mention how to delete the app, which is not what I want. When I try to delete, it tells me that if I delete the app I will lose it and have to repurchase it from the store again later if I want to install again, which is not what I want.

I thought about maybe trying to re-install the app on the device (although, not sure what it would do since it may want the SD card present!), and then uninstalling, but the Amazon app store doesn't provide any way to install the app. Since it thinks it is already installed, it only provides an "open" button, which does nothing.

How do uninstall the remnants of these apps from my device?

I've got multiple apps from the Amazon store which strangely won't open any more. The icon is replaced by a transparent default Android icon with "SD" next to it and if I try to open it says "Application not installed". The Android Application Manager does not list the applications, but the Amazon store says:

"on device but not installed by amazon appstore"

It appears that the Amazon Store stupidly does not include any ability to uninstall. I did not even know before today that the OS provided a way to uninstall because I have always used e.g. the Google Play Store to uninstall apps I installed from there.

I would like to only delete the app from one account. That is, I have a parental account and an account for my child on the device. I want to delete it from my account, but not my child's.

Anyway, apparently to uninstall you have to go to the Amazon web site, but when I do that it only offers the choice to archive or delete. Archive doesn't uninstall, it just removes it from the "cloud". When I try to delete, it tells me that if I delete the app I will lose it and have to repurchase it from the store again later if I want to install again. I don't want this either!
