Under System, microG, Location, Recent location access, there are entries from apps that are not installed on the device.
How can I disable or delete this location access?

Turn location service OFF. I adjust (edit) my tiles so I have location as one of the top tiles, have it off most of the time until I actually need it.
Thanks for reply but location service is needed and can’t be fully deactivated. The problem is, that when location service is needed and activated the mentioned deinstalled apps still send location to their “homeservers”. So the question is, how to fully deinstall any apps not longer used. In my case I used apps for fuel prices and after deinstalling them, they are still listed as apps using the location service. I don’t want that. The entry is de.cupofsoftware.cup_teuer_tanke and de.mobilesoftwareag.clevertanken. It is not possible to delete these entries
Is this really shown?
At System > microG > Location
I see
- Recent access
>See all
Recent access, in my case all look valid. If I explore “See all” I firstly see Last access date – in the case of uninstalled apps the last access fits with my memory of uninstall date. Tap on the entry further shows last reported location, again these look deliberate for my use of the app.
Edit In my case Apps tested and uninstalled would all have had permission “Only while using the app”; this would account for my recognising the history as deliberate.
ofc I can imagine these
de.cupofsoftware.cup_teuer_tanke de.mobilesoftwareag.clevertanken
were perhaps running in a less controlled way, but is the recorded date still beyond date of uninstall?
Settings > Apps > microG Services > Storage cache > Clear storage | Clear cache.
Clear storage would almost certainly delete this history, but will change any other settings you made within microG; Clear cache might or might not delete this history, idk.
