## Usage

```bash
bench uninstall-app [OPTIONS] APP
```

## Description

Remove Application and linked doctypes, modules from the site. Executing the
vanilla command will check if the app exists on site before attempting to delete
its modules and doctypes. The application may not be necessarily installed on
the bench to run the `uninstall-app` command.

## Flags

 - `-y`, `--yes` To bypass confirmation prompt for uninstalling the app
 - `--dry-run` List all doctypes that will be deleted
 - `--no-backup` Do not backup the site
 - `--force` Force remove the app from site

## Examples

1. Perform a dry run to see what would happen on running it on a particular
 site.

 ```bash
 bench --site {site} uninstall-app {app} --dry-run
 ```

1. Don't take a backup before the application uninstall operation.

 ```bash
 bench --site {site} uninstall-app {app} --no-backup
 ```

1. Use force to uninstall application from site.

 ```bash
 bench --site {site} uninstall-app {app} --force
 ```

2. Skip the interactive prompt for confirmation of uninstall.

 ```bash
 bench --site {site} uninstall-app {app} --yes
 ```
