Delete Beta users lists in Android Developer Console

I have some apps published in my android developer account. Some of them are released as closed Beta, where I use lists of users to give them use permissions. Now I have some lists that are old and I don't need them anymore.

The question is: how can I delete (if possible) that lists? I know how to edit them, add and remove users from them, but how to completely delete a list?

I know it sounds easy, but I can't find the way. Maybe someone at Google forgot to put a "delete" button... because more people are asking for it or maybe I just can't find it. It's a bit annoying because all my apps share that lists so then I have to select among many useless lists.

Thanks in advance.

You can finally delete an email list on the new Google Play Console. You can activate the new console by going to the new address: https://play.google.com/console

At the time of writing this, there's still no way to delete a list. Also there's no way to empty an existing list because a list must have at least one email address. In my case, I ended up changing the list name to a single dot (.) that way it won't be as visible as the actual list that I need. I'm not sure why Google can't provide a simple delete button for this.

Finally I found a way to reuse a tester list.

  • Open your developer console
  • Click "settings" at the bottom in the left navigation bar
  • Now, again in the left navigation bar the second item from bottom reads "Manage email lists"
  • If you "edit" a list in this view, you can at least change the name of the list
  • This is the way to reuse existing lists

I know, this is not the same as a "delete" of a list, but if you just rename a no-longer-used list and fill it with new names it's quite the same. you can rename your currently not-in-use lists to start with zzz or something to have them at the bottom of the list.

Hope this helps! Cheers
