Apps reinstalled themselves even when disabled or uninstalled

Last night I performed a factory data reset my S10e phone and right after that I disabled and uninstalled some of the apps that I do not use like Play Movies and TV, Google Drive, Duo, and among a few others. The next morning, I looked at my phone and I noticed these apps are back in the apps drawer. I am pretty sure I disabled and uninstalled these. What is the cause of this?

Anyways, I disabled and uninstalled these again and just have to wait and see again.
 
You typically can't uninstall preinstalled apps completely -- usually, you uninstall all updates first, and then Disable if possible. Is that what you did with these apps? Or did you actually install any of these apps yourself (i.e., they weren't preinstalled)?
 
The reason why Duo returned is because it is now integrated with the dialer now.
 
Update: No apps were reenabled again or reinstalled. I can use the phone dialing keypad even without Duo.
 
Ok, let us know if they come back again on their own.

What i notice after a factory reset is as my apps are downloading i try to uninstall or disable like you mentioned and they do but I guess during the downloading process they reappear, so 2nd time they are for good.
