Delete a Visual Application
If you no longer need a visual application or a particular version of it, you can delete it from the Home page at any time during the development lifecycle. You can also permanently delete an application to completely remove it from the system.
Caution:
Permanent deletion of an application cannot be undone. It completely removes application metadata and any data stored in its database. Before you delete, consider the impact of deleting your app, especially if the version is live. While you still have a chance to restore the app within 30 days of deletion, once a version has been removed from the system, it cannot be recovered.If your teammates have access to the apps you want to delete, you might want to remove them before you delete the app. Use the Team tab in the app's Settings editor to remove access.
To delete visual applications:
- On the Home page, select one or more of the applications you want to delete, then click Move to trash. You'll also find the Move to trash option in an application's Options menu
. Selecting an application at its root level only selects its current version. If this isn't what you want, expand the application and select one or more of the versions you want to delete.
Tip:
To delete multiple versions of an app all at once, enter the app's name in the Filter by App field, click Name in the header column to select all versions of the app, then select Move to trash. - Confirm your selection:
- For development or staged versions, click Move to trash:
- For live or live locked versions, select I understand my selection contains at least one LIVE application, then click Move to trash:
A confirmation appears and your applications no longer appear on the Home page. Instead, they are moved to a Soft Deleted status and can be restored within 30 days after initial deletion. - For development or staged versions, click Move to trash:
- If you're sure you no longer need a deleted application, you have the option to permanently delete it.
