So I have a qualcomm moto e4 and I rooted it with magisk, The problem is that even though I removed the play store from /system/priv-app and from /data/app, the playstore keeps on coming back magically!

Is their another apk that i should remove to stop this?

Dude, no. Your phone won't even function on stock without it. There are a few Google apps that if you remove, phone will just lock up. If you have magisk, use the debloater module and see. If you want to run without gapps, flash a rom and don't flash gapps with it. Stock is dependent on a few of them.

It actually functions fine when i fully remove the playstore but then play services stop working. Is their an alternative for play services that does not require app spoofing like micro g?

No - custom ROM or micro g. Look around; if such a solution was viable there would be plenty of banter.
