Uninstalling PWA for development testing (windows)

I installed my PWA on windows through developer's console, and now can't uninstall it to test installing it. I've tried removing service worker from chrome, but it will just get reregistered after I open the PWA through windows (if server is on). When I right click on it and choose uninstall it takes me to windows app and features there's no entry for it, meanwhile the actual shortcut for it surely just leads to chrome with app ID in URL. Trying to install the PWA after everything I've tried will not give me the prompt again to add it to homescreen.

Is PWA necessary?

If you do not plan to enter the web or desktop niche but choose to focus solely on mobile apps, there is no need to build a PWA. Surely, when developing progressive web apps, you win because you're developing one application for both Android and iOS.

The PWA apps reside in apps menu chrome://apps/ of chrome, and quite possibly exclusively under a different tab (a grayish second bar at the bottom of window), which is where you'd get the option to delete them that works.
