Delete an application

If you no longer need an application, you can delete it. Deleting an application cannot be undone.

When an application is deleted, historical data relating to the application is retained in statistics reports and the activity log. However, access to this data is restricted. Only users with the Owner role can see data for deleted applications.

There are two ways to delete an application:
