To delete an existing dashboard menu plugin from your app, navigate to src/dashboard/menu-plugins in your project's directory, and delete the subfolder that contains your dashboard menu plugin's configuration file.

To remove the registration, create a new version after deleting the dashboard menu plugin's configuration file.
