# Why is the "Delete" option greyed out for an app in 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.
