Homebrew Do I (still) have A9LH?

[FrankvHoof]

I was trying to do the A9LH to B9S-procedure, but got stuck on Finalizing-III (HomeBrew Launcher) when the HomeBrew Launcher wouldn't start from Download Play.
Instead, I chose to fully uninstall my CFW (I believe it was Luma 7? (old version at least)), using the guide. then use the SeedMiner & Bannerbomb-method to re-do the entire hack.

However, when loading the b9sTool (step 10 in section III of installing-boot9strap-(fredtool)), it prevents me from installing b9s, because it finds A9LH still on the device.
I know I can do a workaround to ignore this check, but I know I WAS USING A9LH.

- Was A9LH fully removed when uninstalling the cfw?
- Can I use the workaround when loading b9sTool?
- Is there another way I can/need to remove A9LH further? I've tried adding the A9LH bin etc. back to my SD from my backup, but I cannot load anything at bootup (tried both select & start).

Minor additional info:
OFW: 11.11.0-43E
I CAN boot my 3DS without an SD-card

Inside boot9strap/ is a file named "key.bin". Rename the file to "danger_skip_a9lh.bin" to skip the arm9loaderhax check.

This happens because uninstalling does not erase it completely from the NAND. Even though it is unused, the data was not blanked.

So I'm not at (increased) risk of bricking due to A9LH still being left somewhere on the device?

Since arm9loaderhax is not being used, there is no risk.
