Remove APK from library in Google Play Developer Console

Is there a way to remove an APK from the library in the Google Play Developer Console?

To make sure: I don't mean to revert to an earlier version or unpublish an app, but to remove it from the list that can be seen after clicking on "ADD APK FROM LIBRARY" in Release Management>App Release.

The version that I want to remove has not been used in any release.

Where is artifact library in Google Play console?

The Artifact library has evolved into the new App Bundle Explorer, which you can find in the “Release” section. You can inspect the app bundles you've uploaded to Play and understand how Google Play processes them to generate optimized serving artifacts.

Just go to App bundle explorer and remove the needed abb. You can do it with these steps:

  1. Open Google Play Console
  2. Go to your project
  3. Go to the "Release" section of the side-bar
  4. Go to the "App bundle explorer"
  5. Find the APK/Bundle and click "Delete APK/Bundle".

Keep in mind that you need to detach the specific APK/Bundle from any draft releases and save it. Otherwise, the delete option will not be available.

For new Google Play Console:

Click on App bundle explorer

This is the latest app apk artifact that you have uploaded enter image description here

For older app in your app library, on your right side of the screen youll see this button. It will open App Library and you can choose .apk file from there

enter image description here

When you click Artifact:your_artifact_name.apk button, this App Library will be shown:

enter image description here

Delete button will appear on the right side, right below the artifact library drop-down menu: enter image description here

NOTE: If your application is uploaded and have been published on production (was live), you cannot delete that app artifact because holds some production app data.
