Cannot remove app from Teams

I have an app attached to a tab on a Teams team that I cannot remove. It was installed directly from the add-ins store in Teams, and the app has been removed, but the tab is still there and when I go to select "remove" it presents an empty dialog box without any details. I'd really like the tab to go away. Any help?

    @Daniel Ross-Jones ,

    When you click the tab, is any content displayed?

    Does any error message popup?

    You could confirm with your team owner whether you have the permission to remove tabs.

    @Leon Laude , I am encountering the same issue documented on this thread (i.e., there is a custom Teams App on my teams side bar which cannot be uninstalled: when right-clicking on it, the "Uninstall" option is not visible, even though this option IS available for other apps). Earlier in this thread, you referenced a resource which is now archived / unavailable: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/contentarchivals/contentarchivedpage/message-uid/308344

    If you have any guidance on how the "Uninstall" option can be restored for an app, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
