I've setup and configured CoE and it's been running for a month now. Users have been through the approval flows to remove inactive apps and after three weeks the apps are scheduled for deletion. The owners and I have recieved emails today saying App could not be deleted for you: "AppName"
However it cannot be deleted for you automatically and will need to be cleaned up and deleted manually.
This can happen for a variety of reasons including it being part of a solution or having dependencies.
Here is the error message received from an attempt to delete automatically.
App can only be deleted by uninstalling the managed solution(s) containing the app.
Thanks for any pointers.

Hello @mdlister,
I just checked this, and I can confirm that apps are not associated with solutions in CoE if they are installed in Dataverse for Teams environments.
Still, the proper way to uninstall the app would be to delete the solution from the Teams environment. If you can get access to the Teams team, you can view solutions in Dataverse for Teams environments by going through the Power Automate page:
Go to https://make.powerautomate.com/, change to your Teams environment in the dropdown, and navigate to solutions.
Thanks, these are Teams Environments so i'm not sure if that makes a difference?
I can see the App, environment but no solution when i check
from the environment view, and resources, i see the app listed but no solutions either.
As i am not a member of the team i don't see the environment within PowerApps to switch too and delete the solution so instead I have been going to the admin portal > Environments > Select the right one and Resources and delete the app from there
Hello @mdlister,
Apps can be part of a solution, which allows you to move apps more easily across Power Platform environments.
In your case, the apps that should be deleted seem to decide in solutions. To remove the app, you will have to remove the complete solution.
If the app is part of a managed solution, someone installed it on purpose, so you might want to double-check what the solution does before you actually delete it. Flows, tables, etc. can also be part of a solution.
If you want to delete the solution, I would suggest this approach:
