So is there any relatively easy and not extreme way to locate and delete the source of these processes containing "google" in their name that haven't disappeared after I've removed Google Play Store and Google Store Settings from my desktop or only Apocalyptic flames of the Factory Reset can burn it out? I've never seen these processes before installing the Store.
Is there a chance google will still be able to spy on me after the reset?

Reuninstalled Google Settings after it appeared out of nowhere, now it looks like this:
Crest | Lighthouse
Also, what is that?
It seems to me there must be more than one google app. This one is much like a decoy.
Searching / with FileFrowser does not give a satisfactory result.

Have you tired the Dalvik Cleanup from OpenRepos?

NOTE: This will remove all android files from your phone, use only if you are using U11 - and of course I or the creator of the app is not responsible for damages to your phone. :)

@raketti, thanks for an advice but i'll put it on 'last resort measures' shelf right next to the reset :)

Which processes are left? Can you name them?

@Bowmore, yeah it's a bit drastic. :) Hopefully you get this sorted out - otherwise than reset or picking the files and folders one by one.
