This would be my second suggestion, if the one-line-killer doesn’t help. Unfortunately the author was frustrated and his mind was closed.

The only thing I would mention that uninstalling should be with purge.
There is another workaround - find out and remove all watchtower containers from the filesystem:

, but it would be longer than just reinstall.
