Hi @john john ，

From your description, you want to remove the app completely from the tenant, please refer to:

#Parameters  
$AppCatalogSiteURL = "https://crescent.sharepoint.com/sites/Apps"  
$AppName = "File Controller"  
    
#Connect to SharePoint Online App Catalog site  
Connect-PnPOnline -Url $AppCatalogSiteURL -UseWebLogin  
   
#Get the from tenant App catalog  
$App = Get-PnPApp -Scope Tenant | Where {$_.Title -eq $AppName}  
   
#Remove an App from App Catalog Site  
Remove-PnPApp -Identity $App.Id

@JulieWang-MSFT thanks for the reply.. so what if the app is registered inside a site collection ? should i remove it from the site collection first?

Hi @john john ，

There is no absolute order at tenant and site level.(Which means we need to remove them at both levels to remove the app permanently )

We could remove it in tenant level via Go to App Catalog site> Site contents> Select the ellipsis (...) next to the app you want to remove from other sites and select the ellipsis (...) again in the popup window> Select Deployment.

The deployment page of the app lists all site collections where the particular app instances are deployed to.

Select the sites from the site collections list and click on "Remove" to remove the app instance from selected sites. (If you want to delete the app instances from all sites, Remove every site listed in the site collections list).

Or use powershell at site scope(-Scope Defines which app catalog to use. Defaults to Tenant):

Remove-PnPApp -Identity 99a00f6e-fb81-4dc7-8eac-e09c6f9132fe -Scope Site

@JulieWang-MSFT yes i know , but the App Permission i am talking about are used to create remote event receivers for testing them locally.. so there is not app added inside the sites.. so my question how i can know the site/s where the app permission was registered at?

Hi @john john ，

Quote from Microsoft:

AppUninstalling events when uninstalling the add-in. When an AppUninstalling event occurs, ProcessEvent calls HandleAppUninstalling. The AppUninstalling event only runs when a user completely removes the add-in either by deleting the add-in from the site recycle bin (for end users) or by removing the add-in from the Apps in testing list (for developers).
