App Settings doesn't remove in Xamarin.Forms

I am developing apps using Xamarin.Forms, the app stored some data as App Settings, the issue is when I removed the app from the Android phone and installed it again, the old AppSettings doesn't remove.

This is because Auto Backup for Apps automatically backs up a user's data from apps that target and run on Android 6.0 (API level 23) or later. This happens when allowBackup is set to true.

You have to change it in your android manifest (Go to your Android project -> Properties -> open the manifest -> go to Source view below) by adding it to your application tag and set it to false:

<application android:allowBackup="false" android:fullBackupContent="false" ...>
...
</application>

Also set fullBackupContent to false to be sure none of the data is backed up.

You can have more info in Back up user data with Auto Backup
