Discuss Dropbox Developer & API
I have created an app using the app console (Permission type: Scoped App - App Folder) and it created the folder Apps/appname. Now I want to delete the app and instead using a different app (Permission type: Scoped App). Is it safe to delete that app without losing my data? And can I rename afterwards the folder name "Apps"? Thanks
You can delete an app itself without losing the data in the connected account(s). Deleting an app registration does not delete the corresponding app folder(s) or the data contained within them. It would only prevent further API calls for the app from succeeding.
You can also rename or move the app folder or the parent folder(s) of an app folder in your account at any time.
