Remove APK from library in Google Play Developer Console

android google-play-console developer-console

Is there a way to remove an APK from the library in the Google Play Developer Console?

To make sure: I don't mean to revert to an earlier version or unpublish an app, but to remove it from the list that can be seen after clicking on "ADD APK FROM LIBRARY" in Release Management>App Release.

The version that I want to remove has not been used in any release.

Just go to App bundle explorer and remove the needed abb. You can do it with these steps:

Open Google Play Console Go to your project Go to the "Release" section of the side-bar Go to the "App bundle explorer" Find the APK/Bundle and click "Delete APK/Bundle".

Keep in mind that you need to detach the specific APK/Bundle from any draft releases and save it. Otherwise, the delete option will not be available.

-> Find apk and remove it. Remove apk option is not available now

You forgot a step, it needs to be removed from App Releases before it can be removed from the Artifact Library.

Not able to see the option to delete the APK..only download is available.

delete option is only available if it's not rolled out to production

I think there was a redesign - the tab is now titled "App bundle explorer"

For new Google Play Console:

Click on App bundle explorer

For older app in your app library, on your right side of the screen youll see this button. It will open App Library and you can choose .apk file from there

When you click Artifact:your_artifact_name.apk button, this App Library will be shown:

NOTE: If your application is uploaded and have been published on production (was live), you cannot delete that app artifact because holds some production app data.

Where is the delete button from the Choose an artifact

If your app is uploaded and not yet published, Delete App Bundle will appear right below art, but if your app is uploaded and published, then, you wont have this delete option, regarding that this app artifact has been live and holds some app production data.

@raman-joshi see my previous comment about why delete button is not there

@Uğur, thanks for noticing that. Screenshot updated.

You're the real MVP for these screenshots. Well done.

Yes you can remove the app

Before Release

Open your app Side nav find artifact library You can delete your APK here

After Release

Open app Under Release Management your can find artifact library You can delete your APK here

Note: The live version of APK can't be deleted.

This is correct answer only for those APKs which haven't been used in a rolled out release. Once you roll out a release, you can then delete the APK only when you roll out a newer release.

There is no way to remove apk from library once it is uploaded. You can upload a new apk with different version code.

Not the right answer APK can be deleted from Artifact library

Rajesh You will have to upload apk with a higher version code. It can be deleted from Artifact library but you cannot upload apk with same version code again.

See @Sergey answer

Yes, you can. As of 14/6(June)/2021, if "Delete App Bundle" doesnt show up, you have to remove that apk/aab file, you added before in a release and should remove that from the release.

UPDATED NOTE(17/7(July)/2021): Sorry, i don't know other way to delete apk/aab from "App Bundle Explorer", if the app is published and the apk/aab is not a draft. This answer is only for draft releases and not being published.

Production has 2.3.1 open testing instead of 2.3.2 its released as 2.5.1 is possible to go back to 2.3.2 ?

@Sanjith Sorry, I don't know, I didn't get to that point, but maybe this stack overflow post might help.

In the first step, for Internal testing on a channel were there have been releases already there is no Edit release button, only a Create release button. Maybe you have this button because its the first release of the channel?

Yes, you're right... Sorry, you're right. This answer is for those who have a draft apk/aab in app bundle explorer as you see in first picture and didn't published their app. Mine right now, is exactly as you say. No Edit release button. Instead of Edit release, it's a Create release button. I don't think you can somehow...

@MaheshJamdade Thank you so much Mahesh! I've post this answer because i didn't see any new answer depending with the new "Google play console" as of 2021 and still in 7/Feb/2022.

Go to "App bundle explorer", locate youyr .AAB (or .APK) and select "Delete app bundle".

Remember that this is only possible if the .AAB has not been published!

As Google has changed play store console Go To Specific App Go To App Bundle Explorer in Navigation Select the apk at the top right dropdown as AirFact and delete

Greg Trevellick

In your All applications list you can use the Filter drop-down list (located in the top left-hand corner) to hide applications unpublished apps.

For example:
