Can't unlink old store from my Theme configuration

[MigHerCas]

I've been having this issue for days and it blocks my daily work basis.

I'm not authorized anymore to edit, list, or remove a theme that belongs to an old store to (which I don't have access anymore - managed by a client)

shopify theme info

THEME CONFIGURATION
Store                  {theirID}-2.myshopify.com
Development Theme ID   Not set

TOOLING AND SYSTEM
Shopify CLI    3.71.1 
OS             darwin-arm64
Shell          /bin/zsh
Node version   v23.3.0

This blocks me when running shopify app dev on my current project, which has a theme extension.

Can someone help me or point me where I should be able to ask for help? I need to unlink this specific store from my current cli config.

When I try to uninstalled & installed it again, via homebrew and npm global, it does not work. Pulling other themes is not an issue.

Hi @MigHerCas, seems like you need to select a different store for testing?

Just run shopify app dev --reset and that will force you to re-link your app and select a new store. Be sure to select the same app and a different store.

Let me know if that works

Hi @isaacroldan. Thanks for your answer. Yes, indeed, adding --reset allows me to go through but it's not a total reset.

Still shows the same store which eventually leads to the same error. I'm trying to understand where is this data stored and how can I remove it permanently.

It also prevents me from using shopify cli as usual:

[isaacroldan]

Yes, shopify app and shopify theme commands cache their config in different places. You can select a new store for theme commands by using shopify theme dev --store <your_store>

And can I remove that theme from cache permanently without being authenticated?
