Unable to delete Forge app

I started experimenting with Bitbucket dynamic pipeline Forge app, after making manifest changes I thought that I needed to reinstall the app after deploying it. This created a duplicate app with the same name, so it is impossible to know which is the old one and which is the new one when choosing the provider in the repository. I uninstalled the app from the code directory, but that left the old installation behind. How can I get rid of everything and start fresh?

I found the workspace page for installed apps, and I do see the forge apps, but when I try to follow the Manage link, I get an error:

Is there a way to use the CLI to get rid of it?

I finally found a workaround. After uninstalling the most recent copy, I had an idea to copy the app ID from the error message into the manifest file and try forge uninstall again, and this time it did find an app to uninstall. But that doesn’t explain why I can’t do it from the UI, being the workspace administrator.
