# Deleting and restoring a game

## Removing from the Yandex Games catalog {#remove-from-catalog}

{% note warning %}

You can only delete a published game if there are no drafts created and no A/B tests running.

{% endnote %}

1. <!-- source: en/_includes/console/open-console.md -->
   Access the [Games Console](https://games.yandex.com/console){.external} with your developer account.
   <!-- endsource: en/_includes/console/open-console.md -->
1. In the upper-left corner of the Console, click [Games](https://games.yandex.com/console/applications){.external}.
1. Find your previously uploaded game in the list and click on it.
1. Go to the **Published** tab.
1. At the bottom of the page, click **Remove**. The last deleted version of the game will appear on the **Draft** tab.

## Complete deletion {#full-removal}

{% note warning %}

Before completely deleting a game, you need to unpublish it.

{% endnote %}

1. Go to the **Draft** tab.

1. At the bottom of the page, select ![three dots](../_images/icons/dots.svg) → **Remove**. <span class="red">After this, the game cannot be restored</span>.

{% note info %}

After deleting a draft, the empty application card remains as an entity for action history. To see it in the list in the [Games](https://games.yandex.com/console/applications){.external} section, select ![three dots](../_images/icons/dots.svg) on the right and uncheck the **Hide deleted apps** option.

{% endnote %}

## Restoration {#restore}

{% note alert %}

All materials on the **Draft** tab are stored on Yandex's server indefinitely, but when a draft is deleted, they are permanently removed, and it becomes impossible to restore the game.

{% endnote %}

If you removed the game from the catalog yourself, [submit it for moderation](https://yandex.com/dev/games/doc/en/console/add-new-game.md#step-moderation-game):

1. Go to the **Draft** tab.
1. At the bottom of the page, click **Submit for moderation** to republish.

If the game was removed by a Yandex Games administrator, submit a restoration request:

1. Open the [feedback page](https://yandex.com/dev/games/doc/en/concepts/troubleshooting.md).
1. Select the **Other question** option.
1. Fill in the required fields of the form. In the **Message** field, indicate that this is a request to restore the game.
1. Click the **Submit** button.
