Uninstalling Captivate on Android

Hi.  Suddenly I found Adobe Captivate on the main screen of my Android 10Q right where Bluetooth and Location are.  It goes off with a flash randomly and my pictures started being deleted as well.  But that's a story of cloning I believe.  I can't uninstall it though.  It's embedded somewhere. Not in apps. No APKs. No downloads etc.  Can someone help?  Short of a factory reset?  Thanks a lot.

    There has never been a possibility to install Captivate on an Android system at all. Only a Windows and Mac version. The only mobile small application, Captivate Draft (now dead) was restricted to the iPad, there never has been an Android version.

    Maybe post a screenshot?

    I understand the confusion because I couldn't find that information either but here are my screenshots of my phone.  At the bottom, beside Screenshots you'll see Adobe Captivate.  It showed up a few weeks ago when my photos were being deleted from Google Photos and flashes going off randomly and battery consumption went through the roof.  My phone also shuts down and restarts by itself and takes forever to reboot.  Strange suspicious behaviour.  Thanks for whatever you can contribute.

    Unless, and I just thought of this, someone just named another file Adobe Captivate to disguise it.  Hmm .. that's possible.
