Is it possible remove temporarily an app from Play Store?

I have published an app in Google Play a few months ago. That app have some downloads and data from users in Console Google. I will release a new version, but while I'm finishing, I want remove it temporarily - keeping all that data and download numbers. Is it possible or when I cancel the publish all data will be deleted?

Can you disable an app temporarily?

This is usually done by tapping the Apps button on your hone screen or swiping up. Press and hold the app you want to get rid of. A contextual menu will open under the app, with options to disable or uninstall it. Select the appropriate option and confirm the removal.

Can an app be deleted from Play Store?

You cannot delete your app from Google Play. Instead, you can unpublish an app and it will no longer appear in the store. To unpublish your app on the Google Play store: Go to https://market.android.com/publish/Home, and log in to your Google Play account.

Please note that you unpublish (and this means just what name says, nothing more) not just APK - you hide all related stuff (app's page in Google Play etc). To end user it looks like the app is gone. For you - it is still in your console, you can edit description, images, see comments, stats or update APKs etc., but unless you publish it again, nobody will see these changes.
