an app which is provisioned to be be device owner can not be removed as device owner by the user.

i think it make sense. once the Device Owner application is set, it cannot be unset with the adb dpm command. it can be programmatically done by this code called by owner app itself.

DevicePolicyManager.clearDeviceOwnerApp()

or it has to be factory reset your device.
