In this situation, a third party uninstaller app can help you. You can download an app uninstaller program from Google Play Store eg: Easy Uninstaller. Or if you have also locked Google Play Store with AppLock then download it with third-party App Store: eg: Mobogenie, 9Apps and Android Mirror because Unknown sources option available in the Settings and your settings are already locked with AppLock then download it from third-party Apps store:
