For fun, a shell script for the same functionality:

#!/bin/sh
br="$(printf "\n")" # Obtain a line-break

# If RM_CMD is unset, use trash-cli
if [ -z ${RM_CMD+y} ]; then RM_CMD="trash"; fi

# List of apps. The leading br is necessary for later pattern matching
apps="$br$(flatpak list --columns=application)" || exit 1

cd ~/.var/app || exit 1

for app in *; do
	case "$apps" in
		*"$br$app$br"*) ;; # Matches if $app is in the list (installed)
		*)
			printf 'Removing app data %s\n' "${app}"
			"$RM_CMD" "./${app}"
			;;
	esac
done

(May eat your files)

Pretty complicated

#!/bin/bash

# List contents of ~/.var/app/
files=$(ls -1 ~/.var/app/)

# Loop through each element of the folder
for file in $files; do
    # Set the name as a variable
    app_name="${file##*/}"

    # Check if a flatpak app of that name is installed
    if ! flatpak list 2> /dev/null | grep -qw $app_name; then
        # Ask the user to delete the folder
        read -p "The app $app_name is not installed. Do you want to delete its folder? (y/n): " choice
        case "$choice" in
            [Yy]* )
                # Remove the folder recursively
                rm -rf ~/.var/app/$file;;
            [Nn]* )
                echo "Skipping deletion of $app_name folder.";;
            * )
                echo "Invalid input. Skipping deletion of $app_name folder.";;
        esac
    fi
done

echo "All Apps checked."

The check for if a package is installed can be simplified using flatpak info.

$ flatpak info com.example.Nonexistent &>/dev/null; echo $?
1
$ flatpak info org.mozilla.firefox &>/dev/null; echo $?    
0
