Does sandbox PTE get removed or not after D365 – BC is updated?

when a sandbox environment is updated, any extensions that were installed in that environment will not be automatically removed. However, it’s possible that an extension might become incompatible with the updated environment or might need to be updated to take advantage of new features, so it’s always a good idea to test your extensions thoroughly after any environment updates.

This is how file looks when it is uploaded as PTE.
