Temporary workaround is to just launch it on multitask mode again and use it like that.

Same problem for me here and the workaround doesn't work either.

I deleted live container since I was having issues with SideStore and now after I reinstalled I have apps that I can’t delete because I used them in multitask mode before. It now shows “failed to retrieve the data folder from live process”

Nightly version from 3 days ago

I found a workaround to uninstall the apps that get stuck.

Move app bundle out of the Applications folder.
Go back into the LiveContainer and press and hold and press uninstall. (Don’t press any buttons after that!)
Move app bundle back into Applications folder
Go back to dialog that says “Uninstall” and press it.
