Uninstalled app leaves behind orphaned sandbox/builder data (~2-3 GB)

Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

I previously installed this code editor app and used an Android builder plugin/extension. Through that plugin, I downloaded additional packages like Node.js and other build tools, bringing the total setup size to around 2–3 GB.
Recently, I completely uninstalled the app from my device. However, it appears that the data inside the internal sandbox environment (the packages and files downloaded by the plugin) was left behind and not erased from my device storage.
Since my device's physical volume buttons are broken, I cannot easily boot into recovery mode to clear the system cache partition, and the standard app uninstallation did not clean up these hidden sandbox directories.
Could you please look into how the uninstaller handles cleanup of files downloaded via plugins or sandbox environments? Is there any recommended method or script (via adb or file manager paths, if accessible) to safely locate and purge these orphaned residual files without having to perform a factory reset?
Thank you!

@SahebST This shouldn't even be possible in the first place, since all sandbox-related data is stored in Acode's internal storage and should be completely deleted when Acode is uninstalled.

Maybe your device has some kind of data-preservation feature. You could try reinstalling Acode and then uninstalling it again.

Alternatively, Android Builder may have downloaded some files to a different location in internal storage. If that's the case, you should be able to find them using a file manager.
