  There are two types of installations:
  
  1. Installation via package upload in the app catalog site.
  2. Installation from the SharePoint store (AppSource).
  
  If you delete the package installation and reinstall the app from the SharePoint store, or vice versa, it will not impact or result in data loss. This is because the application's data is stored safely in SharePoint lists, which remain unaffected by the installation method.
