How to remove application from app listings on Android Developer Console

Question

Is there any way to unpublish and then permanently remove an application from the list of applications on Android Developer Console

The one exception worth noting is that while you can't delete apps, the folks over at Google Play Developer Support are able to on their end if the app is both unpublished and has 0 lifetime installs. So if your app has 0 lifetime installs, you might be in luck.

First you will need unpublish the app and wait 24 hours (to allow global stats to update and ensure that no last-minute installs happened). Assuming no last-minute installs happen over those 24 hours, you can contact Google Play Developer Support and check to see if they can delete it.

Please note that their requirement for 0 installs is a hard requirement. No exceptions can be made (not even if you installed the app yourself for testing purposes).

No  you can unpublish but once your application has been live on the market you cannot delete it   Each package name is unique and Google remembers all package names anyway so you could use this a reminder  The  quot Delete quot  button only works for unpublished version of your app  Once you published your app or a particular version of it  you cannot delete it from the Market  However  you can still  quot unpublish quot  it  The  quot Delete quot  button is only handy when you uploaded a new version  then you realized you goofed and want to remove that new version before publishing it  A reference  Update  2016 you can now filter out unpublished or draft apps from your listing   Unpublish option can be found in the header area  beside PUBLISHED text    UPDATE  2020 Due to changes in the new play console  the unpublish option was moved to a different location as follows  Click All Apps in the left pane  Then click the app you want to remove  Then under the Setup option in the left pane  Click Advanced Settings  Then under App Availablity on the right  change the status to UnPublished and click Save Changes at the bottom  Take a look at the image below
