How to delete application from iTunesConnect permanently so it can't be restored later?

Is there are way to completely remove an application from iTunesConnect, including even builds. There is two option for deletion:

There is an option (after app is removed from sale), in App Information section, that says: "Remove App".

Now, that doesn't really removes an app. The app can be restored. Also, all builds are still there.

Is there some way, to delete an app for real?

No, it's not 100% possible. You can remove all the metadata and screenshots, but there is currently no way to delete uploaded builds on App Store Connect.

WARNING: If you remove an app, you will lose ownership of the app name. Removed apps can only be restored if the name is not currently in use by another developer account. In addition, the SKU can’t be reused in the same organization and if you’ve uploaded a build, your bundle ID can’t be reused.

Theoretically you can "reserve" the app name with another developer account and prevent the old account from restoring the app, but I would not bet on that as there are ways to get the app name back.
