Kindle Fire HDX won't uninstall app

Having severe problems developing on Kindle Fire HDX. Applications installed with ADB or directly by Eclipse don't uninstall using any of the following methods: 1) Settings -->Manage All Applications--> [app name]--> Uninstall Application RESULT: App is still listed in all apps in state 'Not Installed' and a new version cannot be installed without doing a factory reset on the device. 2) ADB--> 'abd uninstall [appname]' Result: 'Failure' 3) ADB--> 'adb shell pm uninstall -k [appname]' Result 'Failure' What is the solution? Thanks.

'adb install -r [app path]' does work to reinstall the application. Uninstall still requires a device reset to completely remove the app so that a new version can be installled (e.g. content provider changed).
