If I recall correctly, deleting an app on iOS only deletes its container, it leaves any shared containers behind.

Your Google credentials are likely being stored in a shared container.

I'm not sure when or even whether shared containers are garbage collected at all, it's not documented either way.

The files are deleted, but any keychain secrets are persisted across app installs.
