A few days ago I sent a GDPR request to some company to delete my personal data. They said to install their app and send a ticket from the app. The email was sent from the email address to which the account is registered. Is this even legal?

OP send them one more request explaining that under GDPR you are not required to do anything more than request your data be deleted and they must comply. Explain to them that if they don't do so in a timely manner you will be contacting your country's data protection office and filing a complaint.
