Once you’ve found the list of connected apps:

1. Tap the app you want to remove: Select any app you don’t recognize or no longer use.
2. Choose "Delete all connections": This option will be visible once you open the app’s details.
3. Confirm the action: A pop-up will ask you to confirm—tap "Delete" to disconnect the app.

Important: Don’t remove apps you use regularly (like Facebook or Instagram) unless you want to stop their Gmail integration. Double-check before deleting to avoid disrupting services you need.
