How do delete an application?

Hello:

How do you delete an application from the console?

Thanks,

Rob.

select application (remove devices)
settings
archive

there is no ā€˜deleteā€™ button

Thank you. :slight_smile:

hello, if i delete application this way, can i restore this on anover login?

no itā€™s gone forever as far as I know

I get the following error while trying to re-use an archived application id:

Could not add application
An app with the application id ā€¦ already exists

this message tells me it still exists :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

itā€™s 'archivedā€¦ so you canā€™t use the same application name I think

  • never tried this myself

ttnctl cant find my application and i cant delete him :disappointed:

Hello, I deleted my application and my station id moved to archive. How i can delete aplication id from archive for use on another login?

@arjanvanb @kersing ā€¦ any idea ?

I can confirm (and everyone can with a simple test) that TTN console does not allow to reuse an Application-ID

The links/buttons clearly say ā€œArchive application xxxxxā€ ā€¦ not ā€˜Deleteā€™

From a (strict) security point of view it makes perfect sense to not be able to re-use an Application ID

Yes we first did that simple test off courseā€¦ tnx for confirming again.

Why ? ā€¦ if an application is permanent deleted I donā€™t see a problem using the same application name again for a new applicationā€¦ off course a different Application EUI is generated.

Has something changed? I donā€™t see any options to delete or even archive an application, which is strange because application deletion is supposedly an enabled setting for me as a collaboratorā€¦

So, letā€™s revisit the question: how do you delete an application?

no I donā€™t think So
archiving IS deleting but apparently with the restriction that the applicationname canā€™t be used again,

maybe this will change in V3 ?

Thank you so much for the screenshot - the red font was hiding in plain view! :joy:
