I tried a particular app script (Gmail Meter) by adding it to a spreadsheet. Even though I think I deleted the spreadsheet (manually checked through past spreadsheets), it did not quite delete the service and I keep getting alerts (I revoked its permissions somewhere and I keep getting notifications that the service requires authorization).

How do I delete this service permanently?

The answer here worked for me, but after I did this I found the document in the "Trash" folder. For future readers, you might try removing it from the trash also, maybe that will delete the triggers, or at least stop them from working.eselk

Strange. Maybe, Try checking if the trigger is still there:

Open a spreadsheet then go to Tools -> Script Editor, then on the editor window go to Edit -> All your triggers... and see if the gmail meter method is still listed there. If so, delete it.

Find the URL to the script url in the script editor i.e:

https://script.google.com/macros/d/MS3-PFwnUdYw7_bQF3y8BJte_1Q7n6BNa/edit

Remove edit from url and replace with manage/uninstall

https://script.google.com/macros/d/MS3-PFwnUdYw7_bQF3y8BJte_1Q7n6BNa/manage/uninstall

Click uninstall and that should be it!

After you delete the script, look for it in the trash folder and delete it from there as well. This has worked for me; no other steps are necessary.
