### Describe your issue

I have a problem migrating the app Gitea to my new server (v11.x to v12.0). I am trying to migrate the app `Gitea`. I already installed the app before trying to restore it. This is where my problems comes from. Gitea was deinstalled but one of its permission is being kept within Yunohost.

I am trying to restore the Gitea Yunohost backup from my old server. However this does not work due to `Permission 'gitea.admin' already exists`. It seems this is a problem from the app. As a workaround I want to delete the permission `gitea.admin` manually but I don’t see a way to do so.

Is there a a way to remove a stale permission from Yunohost? I didn’t see any option using the command `yunohost user permission`.

Try `sudo yunohost tools shell -c "from yunohost.permission import permission_delete; permission_delete('gitea.admin', force=True)"`
