I have a laptop with Ubuntu 20.04, Gnome shell 3.36.8, that has the touchpad-indicator by askmrsinh gnome extension. It worked great initially but perhaps with some recent update, has an error. I can no longer turn it off or change it's settings. The problem is that it does not enable my touchpad when the mouse is unplugged. I want to be able to use the touchpad again and manually uninstall touchpad-indicator, but I cannot seem to.
I've tried killing the touchpad-indicator process, and deleting the touchpad-indicator@orangeshirt folder under /home/username/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions. I've tried updating or uninstalling from the GNOME Shell Extension Website addon. It only shows a red "error" button. The extension is not listed under Tweaks, Extensions. I've tried running touchpad-indicator -c from the command line which returns "Another instance of Touchpad-Indicator is working," even after I've killed the process. I've tried installing an older version. I've tried editing the touchpad-indicator.conf file manually under /home/username/.config/touchpad-indicator. I've tried manually installing it from the command line as per https://github.com/askmrsinh/touchpad-indicator but the git clone line fails when asking for authentication, "Support for password authentication was removed..."
When I try to go to touchpad-indicator settings, the window says, "Somethings gone wrong," with these technical details:
The settings of extension touchpad-indicator@orangeshirt had an error:
TypeError: this.pointingDevices.filter is not a function

Can anyone help me enable my touchpad and uninstall touchpad-indicator, or get it working again? I'm at my limit and don't know what else to do.
