How do I remove apps from Private Store/Windows Store for Business account?

HI,

We have some apps in our Windows Store for Business account.

I would like to completely remove them from our account, but can see no option to do so. Is this possible?
Alternatively, how can I fully hide them from our private store? We have some that have their availability set to "No One", yet they still show when I view our private store.

It seemed that some of our apps were set to not show in the private store, but still did.
I had to toggle these back to visible, then toggle to remove them again and wait quite a while for the store to update.

Additionally, complete removal of apps from our inventory does not seem to be possible.

Follow these steps:

Sign in to the Microsoft Store for Business
Click Manage, and then choose Products & services.
Find an app, click the ellipses, choose Remove from private store, and then click Remove.
Choose the private store collection, and then under In collection, switch to Off.

The complete details of how it is being done posted on:

Thanks, but the option to remove from private store does not appear in the ellipses menu as shown below:

Additonally, this app is set to not show in the store, but still shows up in the private store, as shown by two screenshots below;

I'm also still unclear on how we completely remove something from our store for business i.e get rid of apps from products and services where the app is a free app with no purchased licenses.

Many thanks
James

Do you have permission to remove them.
There is a possibility like your account doesn't have sufficient permission to remove them.
You may check with Microsoft Support.

As far as I know I do, as I am a global 365 administrator and can make setting changes elsewhere in store for business.

Interestingly, some of the ones that were set to "No one" for private store visibility, I changed to everyone, then went back in and set back to "No one".
Having now checked a couple of days later, our total apps in the store have gone down from 44 to 32.
It is worth therefore highlighting;
1. The private store visibility shown in the portal was not reflected in the store itself until I toggled visibility on and off again.
2. It took a very long time for the results in the private store to actually update and reflect these changes.


This just leaves me with the query of completely removing them from our account.
Are there any other suggestions or places to check permissions, as we are a CSP customer and cannot raise support tickets directly with Microsoft. I am not sure our CSP covers store for business for support.

Thanks
James
