You can do it this way:

    ConfigurableApplicationContext ctx = SpringApplication.run(ProxyApplication.class, args);
    BeanDefinitionRegistry registry = (BeanDefinitionRegistry) ctx.getAutowireCapableBeanFactory();
    for(String beanName : ctx.getBeanDefinitionNames()){
        System.out.println(beanName);
        registry.removeBeanDefinition(beanName);
    }

Apparently, you can't do it. See this issue: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/29267 – Teodor Oct 06 '22 at 15:14
