Visual Studio App Center was retired on March 31, 2025, except for the Analytics and Diagnostics features, which will continue to be supported until June 30, 2026. Learn more.

This document covers the scenario where an App Center Test customer has a client whose data is on the same account. If this client requests their data be exported, App Center Test has APIs to satisfy this request. All the APIs detailed are public and documented in App Center Swagger.

Deleting Test Data

When a client requests deleting their test reports, you may service this request using the following process:

Generate an API token.
Call the App Center Test API to acquire a list of all the test run IDs owned by the client requesting deletion. You'll need the app name, and the owner (user or organization) name.
```
GET /v0.1/apps/{owner_name}/{app_name}/test_runs
```
```
GET https://appcenter.ms/api/v0.1/apps/CompanyOrg1/AndroidApp1/test_runs
```

For each of the app IDs gathered in the previous step, make the following API call to delete the test run.

DELETE /v0.1/apps/{owner_name}/{app_name}/test_runs/{test_run_id}

DELETE https://appcenter.ms/api/v0.1/apps/CompanyOrg1/AndroidApp1/test_runs/0ce0x71b-82ce-4d7a-8ce5-404a6a50d91a

Completion of this task is achieved only if all the deletion calls return success.
