Uninstall the Web-AddIn

I installed in excel online the "hello world" manifest.xml in the way it is described here: https://github.com/OfficeDev/Office-Add-in-samples/tree/main/Samples/hello-world/excel-hello-world#run-the-sample-on-excel-on-web When I install the Manifest.xml by uploading it as described, everything works fine - the problem is that I can no longer uninstall the Hello World AddIn. The Addin is also not displayed in the dialog under "My Add-Ins". In contrast, when I install an add-in like the Script Lab addin from the MS Store. This is displayed in the dialog my AddIns and can then also be uninstalled via the 3-point menu.

How can I remove it again if it is not displayed under My AddIns? It is loaded every time and is visible in the ribbon.

Concerns only Excel Online.

Thanks for help

@deltavision Thanks for your interest in Office Add-ins. We use the issues of this repo to track bugs in the samples. For programming questions like this, it is better to ask it on Stack Overflow (tagged "office-js") or on Microsoft 365 Q and A (tagged "office-addins-dev").

In the meantime, see if clearing the cache gets rid of the manually sideloaded add-in: Clear the Office cache.
