I used Shopify CLI to create an application, and it seems that the application has been deeply bound to Shopify CLI. How should I clear the application binding on the partner console

hi @WeTech

To uninstall the application binding from Shopify CLI and the Partner Dashboard, do the following:

1. Remove the App from Shopify CLI (Local Machine)
If the app is still bound to Shopify CLI on your local machine, you can unbind it by executing:
shopify app unlink
or manually remove it from the .shopify-cli.yml file in your project directory.

2. Uninstall the App from the Partner Dashboard
To completely uninstall the app binding:

Head to Shopify Partner Dashboard
Go to Apps > Choose your app
In the Settings section, look for the option to delete the app
