{% note %}
**Note**: If you want to remove a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} that you use but do not own, see "[AUTOTITLE](/apps/using-github-apps/reviewing-and-modifying-installed-github-apps#blocking-access)" instead.
{% endnote %}
## About deleting {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}s
If you own a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} or are an app manager for a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}, you can delete the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} registration. For more information about {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} managers, see "[AUTOTITLE](/apps/maintaining-github-apps/about-github-app-managers)."
When you delete a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} registration, the app will be uninstalled from all accounts that the app is installed on.
{% note %}
**Note**: If your {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} is published on {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %}, you must contact {% data variables.product.company_short %} Support and ask them to remove your app from {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %} before you can delete your app.
{% endnote %}
## Deleting a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}
{% data reusables.apps.settings-step %}
{% data reusables.user-settings.developer_settings %}
{% data reusables.user-settings.github_apps %}
4. Select the GitHub App you want to delete.
{% data reusables.user-settings.github_apps_advanced %}
6. Click **Delete GitHub App**.
7. In the confirmation box, type the name of the GitHub App to confirm you want to delete it.
8. Click **I understand the consequences, delete this GitHub App**.
These steps only delete your {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} registration, and all of the organization and account installations it may have. They do not delete any code that you wrote for your app. However, any code that relies on your {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}'s credentials will no longer function.
