Research direction
Start by reproducing the flatpakref installation from Flathub and checking the resulting state in Sideload and AppCenter. Trace how already-installed applications are detected, then verify that the intended uninstall action is available for Aqueduct and removes it successfully.

Description
Prerequisites
- I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates.
Describe the bug
I installed Aqueducts from Flathub via its *.flatpakref file but the AppCenter is unable to detect it.
This leads me to believe that maybe it's a good idea to add an "Uninstall" button for right in Sideload to make things easy and intuitive for users.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.endlessnetwork.aqueducts
- Click on Install
- Open the downloaded *.flatpakref file.
- Install it.
- Go to AppCenter and look for Aqueduct
Expected behavior
There should be an Uninstall button in the AppCenter for AqueDuct.
