Trash and restore an app

Retire an app temporarily, understand retained resources, and restore before its retention date.

Moving an app to Trash stops its running sandbox and public access while keeping its restorable configuration until the retention date. Use Trash when you may need the app again; use Stop when you only want to stop the running environment.

Move an app to Trash

  1. Open the app's management actions and choose deletion.
  2. Read Move to Trash carefully.
  3. Confirm and wait for the operation's outcome.
  4. Open Trash from Apps to inspect the retained entry and its scheduled permanent-deletion date.

Workflows used only by this app are disabled during retention. Workflows shared with other apps stay enabled. The app, reserved dependencies, and sharing configuration remain restorable until permanent deletion.

Cross-app consumers can block retiring a producer. If a dependency list appears, remove or rebind the consuming data sources in those apps first. Do not delete the producer's underlying workflow to work around the app dependency check.

Restore

  1. Open Apps → Trash before the retention deadline.
  2. Find the app and choose Restore.
  3. Review that previous grants, sharing settings, and public links will become active again.
  4. Choose Restore app and wait for completion.
  5. Review sharing and dependencies in the restored workspace, then start the runtime when ready.

Restoration brings back the app and its reserved dependencies. Its runtime stays stopped until started; an on-demand app can wake when visited according to its policy. Treat restored sharing as live access configuration, not a fresh private default.

Retention and operation states

Trash displays the tenant's effective retention and a date for each app when available. An app in Restore or permanent-deletion progress cannot start a conflicting action. Refreshing the page can reconnect to ongoing progress; the operation is not canceled merely by navigation.

The app id remains reserved while the app is in Trash. Restore the retained app to reuse it, or permanently delete it to release the name if you accept irreversible loss. Exporting a portable package is not a substitute for preserving live data. See Permanent deletion and Export.
