As per the docs[1], this only works for a previously-deployed
application. Deploying a new application requires additional parameters.

I think you actually want this:
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/manager-howto.html#Deploy_a_Directory_or_War_from_the_Host_appBase
No slashes necessary.

Did you make this request once or twice?

This is the correct technique for undeploying.

Same application path? You've been using /my-app above, but probably in
an attempt to anonymize your application. Always helps to double-check
the speling.

Seems like it can't find the application.
Can you start Tomcat, deploy the application, and then connect to the
server using JMX? You should be able to find the application under
/Catalina/Deployed/localhost, then choose "Operations" and execute the
"isDeployed" operation with the argument "/my-app". It should return
"true". If it doesn't something isn't quite right with your setup.
For example, are you using the for this
application? The Manager expects that it (the Manager) and your
application are running under the same .
Hmm... that stack trace shows that the application should have been
stopped + deleted by the time this removeServiced() method is called.
What do the log files say? I'm guessing something else is going wrong,
such as the inability for Tomcat to remove the application artifacts
from the disk. Maybe a permissions problem? The initial error is
probably being masked by the exception thrown during removeServiced()
(which is called in a finally{} block).
