It seems that the Lightning Shell app has been removed from the Umbrel App Store, which is fine, but now it’s stuck in a perpetual “updating” state and I cannot remove it.

How can I manually remove this app?

After updating to umbrelOS 1.2, the app was no longer stuck updated. I was able to delete the app.

I think that’s the issue. It’s not on the app store anymore. However, after updating again, I was able to delete the app from my home screen.
