Delete unpublished apk from Google Play is not possible

Question

I have a very stupid problem. We created an application in Google Play, filled with all required information - translations, screenshots, etc.

Now for testing reasons, we uploaded the first .apk with a different package name (another already existent app).

The question: How can I delete this .apk!?

It seems not to be possible! I only find an option to delete the application, but I guess that this will delete the whole thing, the descriptions, screenshots, etc.

When I try to upload .apk with the correct package name, it says, I can't, because the package name has to be the same.

Thanks

Just read more carefully in future.

Please note that package names for app files are unique and permanent, so please choose wisely. Package names cannot be deleted or re-used in the future. Keep in mind that if you've lost your keystore, you'll have to publish the app with a new package name and a new key. You should also update the description of the original app and unpublish it.

您只能取消发布您的应用程序，这将使其在Google Play上不可见，但在开发人员控制台中您仍然可以看到
