Remove work profile completely when Island fails to remove it

Some time before, I used the Island app to may be isolate some apps from accessing my contacts and other information by utilizing the work profile. But after deleting the sandbox and uninstalling the app. I kept seeing "All work apps" service running on the services settings. It was also causing problem when opening the file manager from storage settings.
There wasn't a profile listed on Accounts section but somehow some remnants had stayed. I found a solution by searching the web. Here's how you remove it completely.
First you have to install ADB. For this you'll have to download the
Universal ADB
Then check your adb through command prompt.
Check if there are multiple users running on the device with
Code:
[Select]
adb shell pm list users
If there is an additional user(usually listed with number 999), it's a work profile
To remove the user, type
Code:
[Select]
adb shell pm remove-user 999
The above command will remove the user and prompt the removal success message.
Enjoy a bit of more RAM those apps were using.
