Cannot delete Island after uninstall

Samsung Galaxy S10e Android 12

I set up my Island, but then wanted to not use the app so I uninstalled it without deleting the Island in the app settings. I went to Settings > Accounts and backup > Manage account. I didn't see an option to remove the work profile. I am stuck. I searched in the Settings to remove the profile. I even used Shortcut Maker on the Play Store to find the activities to find the activity to remove the Work Profile, but I didn't see any. How do I remove the Island?

Same issue here. The installation of Island failed halfway through, so the work profile was already set-up. But the app in the personal profile was still stuck in the setup wizard, so it was impossible to select Delete island inside the app.

I solved it by running adb shell pm remove-user 10 --set-ephemeral-if-in-use via adb. The user id (in my case 10) can be retrieved using adb shell pm list users.

thank you kind sir this helped me get rid of a hung removal...

A hung installation... then a hung removal to try and fix it is not a good look. potentially pixel 7 pro with graphene_os was not the intended target for this app..

I am wondering if using Island is even needed, cant We just use the Android work profile? Is it safe to just uninstall Island? What are the extra benefits of this Island?
