description: You can uninstall a third-party connected app from your org. However, uninstalling an app doesn’t delete the connected app. Instead it removes the OAuth policies that you set for the app in your org. Because you’re removing the policies for apps that users can still access, you’re actually loosening your security measures. We recommend uninstalling a connected app only when the original developer deletes the app from their org. To make a connected app inaccessible to your org’s users, block the app. This action ends all current user sessions with the connected app and prevents all new sessions until you unblock the app.

# Uninstall a Third-Party Connected App

You can uninstall a third-party connected app from your org. However, uninstalling an app doesn’t delete the connected app. Instead it removes the OAuth policies that you set for the app in your org. Because you’re removing the policies for apps that users can still access, you’re actually loosening your security measures. We recommend uninstalling a connected app only when the original developer deletes the app from their org. To make a connected app inaccessible to your org’s users, block the app. This action ends all current user sessions with the connected app and prevents all new sessions until you unblock the app.

Note Connected apps creation is restricted as of Spring ‘26. You can continue to use existing connected apps during and after Spring ‘26. However, we recommend using [external client apps](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.external_client_apps.htm&language=en_US) instead. If you must continue creating connected apps, contact Salesforce Support.

See [New connected apps can no longer be created in Spring ‘26](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=005228017&type=1&language=en_US) for more details.

For more information about blocking connected apps, see [Manage Current OAuth Connected App Sessions](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.connected_app_manage_current_sessions.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "The Connected Apps OAuth Usage page displays current OAuth app connections. For apps that aren't installed, it also displays usage attempts that Salesforce automatically denied due to security restrictions. From this page, you can install or uninstall third-party connected apps, revoke an app’s active sessions, and block or unblock org-wide access to the app.").

You can uninstall third-party connected apps from the Connected Apps OAuth Usage page. Uninstall connected apps that are part of managed packages by uninstalling the package.

![Important](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-identity-264-0-0-production-enus/699dab6f-8f1a-4662-b24f-6521d5b747f7/images/icon_important.png)

Important Don’t uninstall connected app packages owned and distributed by Salesforce, such as the Salesforce mobile app. Salesforce installs and manages these packages.

1. From Setup, enter OAuth in the Quick Find box, then select **Connected Apps OAuth Usage**.
2. Click **Uninstall** to remove the local copy of the connected app from your org.
