After uninstall app creating new user insted of get userID from Firebase

I have app which during launch create anonymous user ID, but after uninstall my app create new user with new ID. How can I get userID which was before uninstall ?

My code to anonymous login:

 @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
        setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

    mAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();
    
    
            if(mAuth.getCurrentUser() == null){
                createUser();
            }else{
                user = mAuth.getCurrentUser();
            }

  }

 public void createUser() {


        mAuth.signInAnonymously().addOnCompleteListener(this, new OnCompleteListener<AuthResult>() {
            @Override
            public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<AuthResult> task) {
                if(task.isSuccessful()){
                    Log.d("TAG", "signIn: succes");
                }else{
                    Log.w("TAG", "signIn: fail");
                }
            }
        });

    }

You can use Firebase Authentication to create and use only temporary anonymous accounts to authenticate with Firebase. Anonymous authentication accounts don't persist across application uninstalls. When an application is uninstalled, everything that was saved locally will be deleted, including the anonymous auth token that identifies that account. Unfortunatelly, there is no easy way to reclaim that token for the user.

Instead, you should encourage all your users to fully log in with a supported account provider (Google, Fabcebook, Twitter and so on) so that they can log in from all their devices without worry of losing their data.
