So. I had a site, on Wordpress, but it was so buggy I ended up deleting the entire thing and restarting. Unfortunately, I didn’t disconnect patreon from wordpress before doing so. Now I can’t remove the old one - I don’t know the secret - and I can’t install the new one - it thinks there’s already something connected.

I don’t know what to do.

Yes, as you probably found it, at the below page you can delete your existing apps:
