### Overview

Delete a single app. This API requires a [registered application key](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/action-connection.md#register-a-new-app-key). Alternatively, you can configure these permissions [in the UI](https://docs.datadoghq.com/account_management/api-app-keys.md#actions-api-access). This endpoint requires the `apps_write` permission.
