Is there any way to delete an app from a store programatically?

Topic summary

Goal: Find a way to programmatically install and delete Shopify apps across stores the author manages to support an internal workflow.

Latest update: The author located Shopify documentation related to uninstalling an app via OAuth (link provided) but has not tested it yet.

Open points: No confirmed method or steps have been shared for programmatic deletion, and programmatic installation remains unaddressed in the discussion. No feedback or validation from others is present.

Status: Unresolved. Next likely action is to evaluate the referenced OAuth-based uninstall documentation and seek/confirm a method for installation and deletion via API or other supported mechanism.
