In the meantime, if anyone is desperate to remove the persistent settings for a game you can manually delete the file ~/.config/powertools/<game id>.json where <game id> is the game ID of the game. You can also search through every file in that folder and look for the json file with the correct name field.

I could've sworn I had fixed that in v1.0.5, but apparently not. Since I'm deep into work on the next feature update now, the fix will be in v1.1. I'll leave this issue open until that update is released.
