How do I delete an application from my control panel?

I reached my maximum limit of 3 application and I would like to delete the 2 I am no longer working on. How can I do this? Thanks in advance!

You can't. Allowing app-deletes would defeat the whole idea behind the Account Upgrade process. This means you have two choices... a) Upgrade your account so you can create more apps in your buzztouch.com control panel. or... b) Change the name / content / artwork associated with one of the apps you already created. In essence this is the same thing as deleting the old one and creating a new one.

b) is like recycling the application into something new, however, if you already have a application in the app store, and the config points to that app - be careful to recycle, as changes will be made to your current application. You could take your application offline, then recycle - in theory. (but then updating the one you took offline would be near-impossible) i.e. you can't make two apps from one app, so be sure that when your going to do that you don't want the app your deleting used.

Can I mention, that I have apps that I cannot seem to recycle as I have issues that the new recycled apps won't update. I have this issue on 3 apps that appear to be corrupted for example the navigation bar won't change colour from the default setting, or the button layout won't change from one style to another, or the background image won't display. It seems to be the menu's on all of these apps I cannot recycle.

@Dragon007: Something's wrong then. I'm not sure what you mean by "corrupted" but I'll assume you've got some settings, data, config values that you've made previously and don't understand completely. Example: "The navigation bar won't change color." This is likely because you're not sure where it's getting it's color value from. A hosted config.txt file, a cached data file for that screen, the compile version of the config.txt, etc. It can get very complicated while learning how all this works. Apps don't get corrupted by themselves, we (people) tend to corrupt them. And, we sometimes think we have something figured out when we actually do not. In many cases, it is easier to create a new app vs. trying to figure out why something won't behave the way we expect. But, creating new apps at an unlimited rate isn't a good plan either. It's a balance between understanding why the app is behaving the way it is and just starting over again and again, and again. If you're app isn't doing what you expect, it will ALWAYS be related to where it's getting it's data. Figure this out and you'll get rid of the "corruptness" (is that a word, LOL).
