I tried to install the removal utility and this happens:
~ $ pip install hass_smartthings_remove
bash: pip: command not found
From what I can make out, I may need to install Python before I can run pip commands. Is that correct and if Yes, how do I do this? I Googled and there are hundreds of ways of doing this it seems. I looked in the Add On store and could not see anything obvious.
For what its worth, I am using hassio and I do have this file in config/.storage/smartthings.
Sorry, like I said earlier Linux noob here but very very grateful for all help.
Run ‘smartthings apps’ to list the apps and ID’s. If any Homeassistant app shows, run
‘smartthings apps:delete [ID]’ replacing ID with the UUID or the number in the list
Thanks heaps. I will never give up while all you great guys help out.
I will try the Python from Windows first, if that fails, I’ll try second option and report back.
Update; I have installed Python3 on Windows 10 and ran the script with pip. Some errors:

Failed to build multidict
ERROR: Could not build wheels for multidict which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly
I Googled the ERROR: Failed building wheel for multidict message and other users report that the Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 fixed the problem.
I went to Microsoft C++ Build Tools - Visual Studio and downloaded Visual Studio.
I haven’t installed it yet, I thought I would ask here first - is there any reason why I should NOT do this?
It appears based on the error c++ is a package dependency that you will need to install in the windows version. Try installing c++ and run the script again. C++ is a Microsoft product so it’s not like your installing an unknown program. You can always uninstall it later.
I installed Visual Studio and had some success:

So if I am correct, my next step should be:
hass_smartthings_remove PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN

I don’t run hassos and use home assistant container, so admittedly don’t know everything on that. A forum search with various posts advised of difficulties with pip installs with hass.ioSearch results for 'Run pip' - Home Assistant Community so I was attempting to advise the OP of alternative ways they could install the removal tool. Apologies if I provided wrong info here.
Your method of running just two commands to install it will be much easier though.
I run hassos and I can’t find a way to get pip to run. If there is a way, I would appreciate advice on how to install it. As mentioned above, just running the two commands would make it so much simpler.
In any case, am I good to do the below?
hass_smartthings_remove PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN
With PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN looking something like this abcdefg-xxxx-yyyy-zzzz-abcdefghijkl
Apologies for doing this the long slow one-step-at-a-time, I just want to make sure I don’t make things worse by doing the wrong thing.
I’m not sure what’s going on with the PIP command and hassos. I’ve seen lots of posts throughout this forum though of people having problems with running PIP commands or some issue and then someone responds just pasting instructions from the documentation saying “just follow the instructions”. I will definitely say the Home Assistant documentation is very well maintained, a great starting point, and a 1000 times better then Smartthings documentation (or lack thereof), but when you run into problems like the ones you’re experiencing it’s easy to get stuck and need more help. To avoid these types of responses honestly how I would start any post for help is “I followed the documentation at this link (paste link to documentation) and I did xyz and got stuck at step whatever” and that should hopefully avoid a response with just a link to the documentation.
Hassos is great, especially for people starting out, and makes things easier when everything works, but it is a sandboxed and locked down version of linux that makes simple things like running a PIP command out of the box or installing a package difficult. This is why I run Home Assistant container on Ubuntu - it’s more difficult to get going at first but I have a lot more control over the OS, installing other programs, running any linux commands, and a program install outside of of an add on is possible and as simple as running an apt install command. So when I advised “I don’t think you can run PIP in hassos” I was simply saying that command doesn’t work out of the box (as you yourself have noticed). If someone else says you can run the command and I don’t know what I’m talking about hopefully they can explain what extra steps are needed to be able to run a PIP command so you can run it in the future. However, those extra steps definitely aren’t in the documentation for the removal tool anywhere.
To get back to your question, once you get the removal tool installed whatever way works for you, you will run that hass_smartthings_remove command with the Smartthings access token you generated at this link. Samsung account . That should clear the orphaned smartapp out of Smartthings and let you start over with installing the Smarthings integration fresh. For a totally fresh start after deleting that app make sure you follow the guidance in this post and delete any residual files from the integration’s attempted install on the Home Assistant side as well Cloud component and Smartthings - #19 by Nameless . Good luck and hopefully this can get you up and running.
Thanks, much appreciated.
I ran the command from the Windows box and got this:

Or just nothing if no app was there. You’re getting some sort of runtime error.
If you can access a machine running a real version of linux it literally is as easy as just running the two commands to install the tool and remove the app. Hopefully someone else can post more info on getting PIP to work with Hass.io. I don’t have experience trying to run Python on windows and was hoping the guides would get you to where you need to go, but unfortunately it doesn’t look like its working.
You can try installing the integration again with the steps you’ve already taken to try but I’m not sure it will work. If not you’ll need to run that removal tool.
Yes, very good. No error confirms it was removed or not there. Likely not there if it didn’t say anything but it’s possible your other attempt removed it and errored out before conformation.
Either way try to install again following the guide and let us know if/where you get stuck.
No you will be asked for that token when you attempt to add the integration again.
Some things have changed since yesterday; I had a power outage so the Raspberry PI which Home Assistant resides on ended up being restarted.
And now I have just managed to work through the steps and the integration seems to work (I think anyway and I had a Success! message and I can see the Smartthings tile so hopefully all good.
Perhaps a restart was all that was needed? I should have tried that earlier…
In any case, thank you all very very much for all the help you have given me.
