Hey @krosiek, thank you for reaching out. I was able to reproduce the issue, marking as bug.

Note: tested in CLI versions 12.0.1, 11.0.1 and 10.0.0, observed similar behavior.

Closing as a wontfix in favor of prioritizing Amplify (Gen 2) CLI interactions. While it is an undesirable/unexpected behavior, this functionality does not impact production workloads.

Note when using npm to manage the Gen 1 CLI package @aws-amplify/cli, removing with npm uninstall -g @aws-amplify/cli will also invoke amplify uninstall and remove the local assets.
