Cannot uninstall app in safe mode

[gadget242]

I have a Huawei P Smart 2019 and discovered that I cannot uninstall 3rd party apps when in safe mode. When I try to delete a 3rd party app it just goes back to the apps list and shows the app still there. I can delete it fine when not in safe mode.
My device is currently running EMUI 9.1.0 (build 9.1.0.262).
I'm gonna try a factory reset once I've backed everything up, but wondered if this is a known issue.
