Delete the App folder: DBX in the path Splunk_HOME / etc / apps / App_Name
if you are unable to delete some files, then disable the app in manage apps. then try to delete the app folder and restart the splunk.

You might still have artifacts under $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/users//dbx. If you delete any of these directories and restart Splunk, that should do it.
