Cannot delete any standard apps from Admin Center

Posted on by GiniTesta

I am trying to tidy in my test environment and there are many apps that don't need to continue living. There are both standard apps and SharePoint forms. In both cases, I manage to enter the detail page, I see the garbage bin, but when I click it (and confirm deletion), I am navigated back to the app list... and the app is still there!! I have been trying this now for some days, and I always get the same.

This was possible before, so I suspect there is a bug here... @microsoft, any idea?

Btw: I am global admin, and I am using PowerApps though an Office 365 E3 licence.

Re: Cannot delete any standard apps from Admin Center

Hi @v-siky-msft ,
Thank you for your reply. I did as you say and it actually works! It's enough to refresh the page to see the app disappear from the list. But if I don't do it, if I for example click om it again and try once more to delete it, the item doesn't disappear. I also experienced the other day that, if I close the window and open it again, the app that I tried to delete is still in the list. So there is some missing Refresh logic in this page... very annoying- how is a user supposed to know??
So thank you for providing the solution, and let's hope that Microsoft improves the page 🙂

Best wishes,
Ginevra

Hi @Ginevra ,

I have test on my side, all apps can be deleted properly, but there was a delay of few minutes, older apps take longer to delete.
Can you wait few minutes, then refresh the page to check if the app is deleted.
before deleteafter delete
