Actual behaviour:
In case a custom app has print formats, the command bench uninstall-app (app) will fail with frappe.exceptions.LinkExistsError: Cannot delete or cancel because Module Def <a href="#Form/Module Def/ham">ham</a> is linked with Print Format <a href="#Form/Print Format/cheese">cheese</a>

Expected behaviour:
bench uninstall-app should also remove print formats that are part of an app and successfully remove the app.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install an app which has a print format (e.g. one DocType and a print format for the same)
  2. Remove the app using bench uninstall-app and observe the error

Workaround:
The print formats can be manually removed and the app installed afterwards.

Unfortunately, the only way is to go into the database and remove the print formats manually:

$ bench mariadb
> delete from `tabPrint Format` where `module` = "<your app name>";
