### Describe the existing feature/documentation

When searching I did find a slightly relevant issue https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/AppManager/issues/940
But for clarity I think separate one is better than posting in the old one

### Describe your problem(s)

I suspect an app I have, well, "managed" rather bravely via AppManager is now misbehaving due to my tweaks (but it's an old, moody, janky app so chances are it's just naturally bad)

I would like to revert changes to this app particularly.

I did not make backups (of course :) )

So, question :

Assuming no backups done, and assuming the app does not hold critical user data I would be afraid to lose

Would uninstalling the app in question, rebooting, then re-installing it again revert changes done to that app by app manager ?

Should I also compliment that uninstall-reboot-reinstall cycle with doing a "[remove all rules](https://muntashir.dev/AppManager/en/#remove-all-rules)" in AppManager or would that be useless/excessive?
