# Why is the 'Delete' option greyed out for an app in Patch My PC Cloud?

*Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud*

### SYMPTOMS

I am trying to delete an app from the Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud App Catalog.

But when I click on the app and open its properties, the **Delete** option is greyed out.

### CAUSE

This is because the app has one or more active deployments. You cannot delete an app that has active deployments.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip**

If you put your mouse over the **Delete** button, the mouseover text actually tells you:

**This app has deployments. Please delete those first.**
{% endhint %}

### RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, delete any existing deployments for the app by following the [Delete a Deployment](/patch-my-pc-cloud/deployments/manage-deployments/delete.md) process. Once these have been deleted successfully, you will be able to delete the app.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-cloud/troubleshoot/app-catalog/why-delete-greyed-app.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
