What is the Catalog Cleanup Tool?
Catalog Cleanup Tool is a SharePoint Framework (SPFx) admin web part that walks administrators through a guided, safe uninstall of an SPFx app from a site collection. It discovers every artifact an app left behind, previews exactly what will change before anything happens, and removes it cleanly with guarded checkpoints — avoiding the orphaned components and broken pages a manual uninstall risks.
What does the Catalog Cleanup Tool remove when uninstalling an app?
It removes the app's scoped artifacts across the site collection — the catalog entry, the Site Contents app, and optional app-data lists — with a pre-removal preview and per-operation results so you see exactly what changed.
Does the Catalog Cleanup Tool send any data outside my tenant?
No. It runs client-side in the signed-in user's browser context, respects your existing SharePoint permissions, stores no secrets or app passwords, and makes no external calls — no data leaves your tenant.
Can the Catalog Cleanup Tool run inside a GCC High or DoD tenant?
Catalog Cleanup Tool deploys as a tenant-native SPFx solution inside your existing Microsoft 365 environment and operates entirely within the boundary your tenant is already authorized for — it doesn't introduce a new boundary to accredit.
Is the Catalog Cleanup Tool available on Microsoft AppSource?
Yes. Catalog Cleanup Tool is published on Microsoft AppSource, with a free trial available from the listing.
