Deleting Apps from the App Catalog

You can delete public and in-house apps from the App Catalog. You cannot delete prerequisite apps. You need to edit the apps to remove the prerequisite relationships before deleting such apps. If the app is installed on devices, it will be removed the next time those devices check in. Silent app install/uninstall is supported on Samsung and Zebra devices in Device Admin mode, or all devices in Device Owner mode.

In the case of in-house apps, a confirmation window appears on the screen. You need to select the acknowledgment that you want to continue with the Delete operation and click Delete App. When you try to delete multiple apps and some apps cannot be deleted, a window appears on the screen which contains information about the apps that cannot be deleted and the reason for that.

The following conditions apply when you try to delete one or more apps from the App Catalog: 

  • If one version of the in-house app cannot be deleted, then it is not possible to delete any version.
  • If one version of the in-house app is a prerequisite app, then the app cannot be deleted and none of the versions can be deleted.
  • When you select all or some of the in-house apps to delete them from the App Catalog, all the versions of the selected in-house apps will be deleted.
  • An in-house app delegated from a Space cannot be deleted.
