{% data reusables.apps.settings-step %} {% data reusables.user-settings.developer_settings %} {% data reusables.user-settings.github_apps %} 4. Select the GitHub App you want to delete. {% data reusables.user-settings.github_apps_advanced %} 6. Click Delete GitHub App. 7. In the confirmation box, type the name of the GitHub App to confirm you want to delete it. 8. Click I understand the consequences, delete this GitHub App.
These steps only delete your {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} registration, and all of the organization and account installations it may have. They do not delete any code that you wrote for your app. However, any code that relies on your {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}'s credentials will no longer function.
