I was playing around with adb, and deleted some stock apps. Now I find two minor problems:

1. When I try to give an app permission to sd card, that app crashes. Also when i try to access sd card from settings tab, settings app crashes. I think its got to do with file explorer, but not sure which app that i deleted is causing this.

2. When I try to download something, say from google drive, the download wont start, nothing happens. I am guessing its got to do with downloads manager which i deleted.

Would be great if anyone would suggest what can I do here.

Thanks
 
Did you use “pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package>”

If yes, that doesn't remove the app from the system partition, only the user. You can do a factory reset and get the removed apps back.

Or if you know the package name this should work to reinstall it without resetting:
adb shell cmd package install-existing <name of package>

If you disabled apps through ADB:

Cant thank you enough @kate, it actually worked. Just reset my device and it all came back. Had no idea that it was only removed for the user and not from the phone entirely. This is a great way of debloating, and if something goes wrong(which very often it does), you can still go back to normal by a factory reset. Thank you once again
