Switch to Classic Experience

If you cannot find the app details page using the modern experience you can temporary switch to the classic experience to open the app details.

Go to the site contents of your site collection and navigate to the Space Navigator App.

Open the app actions of the Space Navigator in the site and click on "Remove". We do not remove the app here. This is just the shortest way to switch the view.
