How to delete unapproved app from iTunes Connect?

I'm using now the new Apple service for testing apps. I know that the process to send an app for test is:

But not all apps that I create in my account (iTunesConnect) go to be public; because a lot of my app finish published in the accounts of my costumers. In this way in my iTunesConnect I have a lot of: (for example)

Apparently, other people can't use your undeleted App names. I had an old one on my account that another Developer wanted to use. I got this letter from Apple:

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please include **** in the subject line of any future correspondence on this matter.

On 3/4/2016, we received a notice from **** (“Complainant”) that Complainant believes your application named "****" infringes Complainant’s intellectual property rights. In particular, Complainant believes you are infringing its app name, thereby blocking Complainant from using it on the App Store.

You can Not delete it before atleast one of the versions of your app is approved!

Unfortunately, you cannot delete apps from iTunes Connect unless one or more versions of the app have been approved by Apple's review team. According to their documentation:

You can delete your app if there is at least one approved version of the app

Honestly, aside from the annoyance of seeing old unused apps there, there isn't much of a problem with what you're doing. What you could do to reduce the number of "junk" apps in your portal is to re-use app identifiers after the TestFlight testing time of 30 days expires (and, of course, you'll have to clear out those beta testers).
