I want to disable android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION in my Xamarin app because I dont need it anymore but when I uncheck the checkbox in the Properties tab:

And delete the permission request in the android.manifest file itself:

The permission request still seems to be there according to the manifest file from the archived .aab file and also according to the google play dev console. I also searched my entire solution and dident find any other references. Is there anything that causes this request or anything I forgot to delete?

Check the merged AndroidManifest.xml in obj\Release\nnn\.

If it is there, then something in your build process has added it.

If it is not there, then add to your question more details about how you build and launch to google play dev console - what you are seeing at dev console should match what is in the obj version of that file.

It was defined in the AssemblyInfo.cs and after removing it there everything was fixed.
