Play Store "Termux:STYLE" Deletes Termux App
I had the misfortune of going agsinst my better judgement and updated the Google Play Store Termux:STYLE app, which deleted my installation of F-Droid Termux app. I do not have any Termux apps from Google.
I installed the Termux app from F-Droid and then installed Termux:Styling from the same store, but again, Termux was deleted and in my Google apps list. I found Termux:STYLE.
I cannot install Termux:Styling without deleting Termux; how do I resolve this?

Termux
Termux on the Play Store is a fork of an old version with additional, unmerged changes, and is not controlled by the dev team at https://github.com/termux. Despite its existence and version number, it is not the newest or latest version, and is significantly less functional than either the current F-Droid release or Github builds. More detail: https://github.com/termux/termux-app/discussions/4000
Unless you know exactly what you're doing, you should not use the Play Store fork. Install Termux 0.118 from F-Droid link: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.termux
If you have currently have the Play Store fork installed and want to install an official build from F-Droid or Github, you must uninstall Termux and all companion apps first.
That means uninstalling the main app, as well as Termux:API, :Styling, :Widget, :Task, :Float, and :Boot. Termux:X11 works differently and can be left installed.
