App Cleanup

Safely uninstall SPFx apps without breaking anything.

A guided, permission-aware wizard for SharePoint administrators who need to remove installed web parts and extensions without collateral damage.

The Problem

Uninstalling SPFx apps is a minefield.

  • Removing an app from a site collection silently breaks any page still referencing it
  • Admins have no view of where an app is actually used — which pages, lists, libraries, or views depend on it
  • Post-uninstall cleanup becomes an archaeology dig through broken web part zones
  • "Remove" buttons in the Site Contents UI give no warning about in-use dependencies
  • One wrong uninstall can take a production intranet offline in minutes

The Solution

A guided wizard that refuses to break things.

  • Scans the site collection and surfaces every installed app
  • Builds a dependency map for each app — pages, lists, libraries, views that reference it
  • Walks the admin through a reviewed, step-by-step uninstall
  • Refuses to proceed when the app is still in use — no accidental production outages
  • Produces a results log for audit: success, failure, reason
  • Deployed as an SPFx web part scoped to the site collection — no tenant elevation needed

Feature Highlight · 01

See every dependency before you uninstall.

  • Scans every page, list, library, and view in the site collection
  • Surfaces each place an installed app is actually referenced
  • Visual dependency map — know exactly what will break before you touch anything
  • Zero-dependency apps are flagged as safe to remove
  • In-use apps require explicit review before the wizard will continue

Feature Highlight · 02

Refuses to break production. Logs everything.

  • Guarded uninstall — the wizard will not proceed when active dependencies exist
  • Multi-step review + confirmation gate before any destructive action
  • Full results log: which apps were removed, which were skipped, and exactly why
  • Export the results as CSV for stakeholder reporting and change-control tickets
  • Site-collection admin gating — no elevated tenant role required

Who It's For

Built for the admins who clean up the mess.

  • SharePoint administrators managing long-lived site collections with legacy apps
  • IT Ops teams rationalising installed web parts after mergers or reorganisations
  • Site collection owners tasked with tidying up before an audit or migration
  • Migration leads preparing source tenants for a move to a new environment
  • Anyone who has ever pressed "Remove" and immediately regretted it
