SharedPreferences are not being cleared when I uninstall
<p>OK, this is a strange one that I didn't think was even possible.</p>

<p>So, ever since I've been using a Nexus 5X, the SharedPreferences are not getting wiped when I uninstall my app.</p>

<p>I install the app through Android Studio and test things. I then uninstall the app. I then resintall the app through Android Studio and all the SharedPreferences values are still there.</p>

<p>I've tried clearing the data/cache in addition to uninstalling. The SharedPreferences are persistent through all those attempts.</p>

<p>I am using stock Android 6.0 on a Nexus 5X. My device is not rooted. I am not using a custom ROM. I do not have this issue with my Nexus 4. </p>

<p>Any ideas what might be causing this?</p>
