If you ran the `npm start` command and your add-in was automatically sideloaded, then run `npm stop` when you're ready to stop the dev server and uninstall your add-in.

Otherwise, to remove an add-in sideloaded to Office on the web, simply clear your browser's cache. If you make changes to your add-in's manifest (for example, update file names of icons or text of add-in commands), you may need to clear your browser's cache and then re-sideload the add-in using the updated manifest. Doing so allows Office on the web to render the add-in as it's described by the updated manifest.
Otherwise, to remove a sideloaded add-in, see [Uninstall add-ins under development](uninstall-add-in.md).
