How to Disable or Delete Jotform Apps

March 20, 2025

Jotform Apps provides ways to manage your custom apps effectively. Whether you want to temporarily pause an app’s functionality or permanently remove it from your environment, understanding how to disable or delete apps is essential.


Disabling Apps

Disabling an app stops its functionality within your Jotform environment. It’s useful when you want to temporarily suspend an app without permanently removing it. Let’s do it:

  1. On your My Workspace page, click on Type at the top and in the Dropdown menu that opens, uncheck the boxes next to all the assets except Apps, so only they’ll be shown on the page.

  2. Then, click on the Downward Arrow icon on the right side of the App Status section, and select Disabled.

Deleting Apps

Deleting an app removes it entirely from your Jotform environment. Users won’t be able to access it anymore. But, you can still access the forms and submissions sent through the deleted App. Here’s how to do it:

  1. On your My Workspace page, click on Type at the top and in the Dropdown menu that opens, uncheck the boxes next to all the assets except Apps, so only they’ll be shown on the page.

Deleted apps are stored in the Trash for up to 30 days. After this, they’re permanently removed from Jotform’s servers and can’t be restored.
