# Delete an extension app

> Describes conditions and steps to deleting an extension app.

An extension app version can only be deleted when it’s in **Draft** status. You cannot delete a version that's going through Docusign review for publication to the App Center—indicated by a status of **In Review**, **Approved**, or **Rejected**. To delete an extension app version in one of these statuses, you must first cancel your request to publish it from the **Publish to App Center** page in the Developer Console. See [Publish an extension app](/extension-apps/build-an-extension-app/publish) for details.

**Note:** You cannot delete an extension app if its status is **Live**, which means that it’s been published for use by any Docusign App Center user.  For assistance with deleting a live extension app, please visit the [Docusign Developer Community](https://community.docusign.com/developer-59) for information and assistance.

## Deleting drafts of unpublished and published extension apps

The procedure for deleting a draft varies depending on whether or not the app has ever been published.

For an app that has never been published:

1. Open **My Apps** in the [Developer Console](https://devconsole.docusign.com).
2. Select the kebab menu for the extension app, and then select **Delete**.
3. In the confirmation dialog box, choose **Delete**.

For an app that has been published, you cannot delete the Live version, and you can only delete the most recent draft.

To delete the most recent draft version of a publish app:

1. Open **My Apps** in the [Developer Console](https://devconsole.docusign.com).
2. Select the relevant app from the list of apps.
3. Select **App Versions** from the left nav menu.
4. If you have a Draft version of the app, you can select **Delete Draft.**
5. In the confirmation dialog box, choose **Delete**.
