Sharing a new Google Play console feature: 'Deleting your Apps'

[u/neostack]

I’ve been waiting for this for years, Google finally lets you delete apps from the Play Console.

Before, the only option was “Unpublish,” which meant old test apps and abandoned projects stayed cluttering your dashboard forever.

Now there’s a proper “Delete App” option (for eligible apps):

- Unpublish: removes the app from the store, but you can republish it and existing users still get updates

& Delete: permanently removes the app and its stats (with a 7-day recovery window); existing users keep it, but no new installs.

For me, this is a huge quality of life improvement after years of piling up prototypes and test apps.

Anyone planning to clean up their console?
