Uninstall an app
You no longer need an app and want to know what happens to its data.
- For
- the Owner
- Prerequisite
- an installed app
- Where in the portal
- Apps › My apps › app › Settings › Remove app
On this page
Uninstalling removes an app and its widgets from every scene. Before you confirm, the portal shows which scenes are affected. The app's own data stays, so a new installation picks up where you left off, unless you delete it for good.
Steps
Uninstall the app
- Open the app's page, switch to Settings, and click Uninstall app under Remove app.
- Check the dialog. It lists the scenes whose widgets disappear and says what happens to the app's data. For a booked add-on, it also says when the booking ends.
- Click Uninstall. The portal reports App uninstalled.
Delete the app's data for good
The data of an uninstalled app stays for a new installation. If you no longer need it:
- Open the app's listing under Apps › Discover apps. After uninstalling, the portal takes you there.
- Under Your data for this app, click Delete app data for good.
- Check what is deleted and click Schedule deletion.
The data is deleted 30 days later. Until then, Cancel deletion brings it back, and installing the app again also cancels the deletion.
What stays and what goes
| What | After uninstalling |
|---|---|
| The app's widgets in scenes | Removed. The scenes themselves stay. |
| The app's app contents in the library | Stay, with the notice App not installed. They don't play on displays until you install the app again. The dialog doesn't list them. |
| The app's data, such as menus or duty rosters | Kept, until you schedule the deletion |
| A booked add-on | Runs until the end of the period, without a refund for the rest |
| What OneDrive or Video wall unlock | Stays. Imported files and existing video walls remain, but you can't add new ones. |
Check the result
The app is gone from My apps, and its widgets are missing from the scene editor palette.
If something goes wrong
| Symptom | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Uninstall app is grayed out | Only the Owner may uninstall. | Ask the Owner. |
| “The impact could not be determined.” | The list of affected scenes couldn't be loaded, so Uninstall stays locked. | Close the dialog, reload the page, and try again. |
| A scene shows an empty space | A widget of the app was there. | Fill the space in the scene editor and publish the scene. |
| Your data for this app is missing | The app keeps no data, or its data areas are empty. | Nothing to do. |
