Deactivate, Uninstall, and Delete Apps
When you need to remove an app from UNA, you can deactivate, uninstall, and delete it. These are three distinctly different steps that can only be performed sequentially. Apps cannot be deleted until uninstalled, and cannot be uninstalled until deactivated.
Deactivating Apps
When an app is deactivated, all data and media are preserved but are not accessible until the app is activated again.
Deactivate from Inside the App
- Go to Studio > Launcher.
- Open the app you want to deactivate.
- Click the Actions icon in the top right corner of the app.
- Switch the Active toggle to OFF.
Deactivate from Launcher
-
Go to Studio > Launcher.
-
Click the Account icon in the top right corner.
-
Click Manage Apps.
-
Click the Settings icon next to the app you want to deactivate.
-
Switch the Active toggle to OFF.
Inactive apps remain visible in Launcher, but they appear semi-transparent (faded) until activated.
Uninstalling Apps
Active apps cannot be uninstalled. Before uninstalling an app, you need to deactivate it. Uninstalling a UNA app will delete all data and media created by this app on your server; however, it will not delete the app itself.
Uninstall from Launcher
-
Go to Studio > Launcher.
-
Click the Account icon in the top right corner.
-
Click Manage Apps.
-
Click the Uninstall button next to the app you want to uninstall. NOTE: Only inactive apps will have the Uninstall icon.
-
Confirm that you want to uninstall the app.
Uninstalled apps disappear from the Launcher. All the settings, user-generated data, and media files created by the app are erased.
Deleting Apps
You can delete apps that are not installed. Deleting an app will remove all the app files from the server completely.
- Go to Studio > Launcher > Apps Market > Downloaded.
- Find the app you want to delete and click Delete.
- Confirm that you want to delete the app.
NOTE: The option to delete an app will be active only if the app is inactive and uninstalled.
