Uninstall a Third-Party Connected App

You can uninstall a third-party connected app from your org. However, uninstalling an app doesn’t delete the connected app. Instead it removes the OAuth policies that you set for the app in your org. Because you’re removing the policies for apps that users can still access, you’re actually loosening your security measures. We recommend uninstalling a connected app only when the original developer deletes the app from their org. To make a connected app inaccessible to your org’s users, block the app. This action ends all current user sessions with the connected app and prevents all new sessions until you unblock the app.
