Now the draft is here and I can't find a button for delete it.

How can I delete that draft? I can't find any documentation about it.

Answer 1

I searched around and find no way to delete a draft.

However, you can change it's name to your future application (go to Store Listing - Title) and leave your worries behind ^^

Answer 2

There is an option to delete app in the menu available in the right upper corner

Answer 3

As of August 2017, the only way to delete the app is to click on the trash can icon in the list view. The previous answers reference UI that has been removed.

Answer 4

1) if you notice this:

2) go into the release page, then click "discard" as below:

3) then you remove the "draft"

Answer 5

there is a way.

Say you already have a draft and you want to upload another draft. Upload the 2nd draft and save it. It might complain that you cant have two drafts as users can have multiple APKs installed ..fine.

Now archive the original APK (press the archive button). Now press save. Now you can use this draft and the other gets archived.

Answer 6

On the Apps Listing Page there is a Delete Trash Icon. Click on that and confirm Delete.

Go to All Applications tab, then click the trash button on your app list to delete the draft app.

Answer 8

Now you have to contact the support to delete an app plus this app needs to be marked as unpublished in Google Play Console > Version > Configuration > Advanced Settings > Application availability .

Delete an app or game

You can permanently remove draft apps or games from your Play Console. You can also delete:

• Published apps or games that haven't been installed on any devices
• Published apps or games that no users are entitled to re-install

In these cases, contact our support team to request that your app's or game's data be permanently deleted.
