Got a couple of unfinished apps in iTunes connect due to some reason, now want to delete them. These apps are never uploaded to app store.
Have already deselected all territories under rights and pricing. But why they still show "Prepare for Upload", and "Delete" button doesn't show?
Apple says that you can delete an app from iTunes Connect only after it has one approved version. Check my answer here: Unable to delete app in iTunes Connect with "Developer Rejected" status

I can't delete a App in Itunes Connect, I am the Team Agent and my App has the status Preparing for Submission. But there isn't a Delete App button. Can anyone help please ?
No matter what your account prevelages are, you can't delete an app on Preparing for Submission status.
According to the iTunes Connect Developer Guide.
Apps that have not been approved yet can’t be deleted
So, for now, you need to sitback and wait for the review result. Once you got the result(whatever accepted or rejected) you can delete your app.
Update 2018: You can now delete unused/never submitted apps from App Store Connect
Actually we can not delete app directly from iTunes until app rejected from apple. First submit the app for review process after that if your app rejected or except by apple then you can remove it from apple store.

Here's the answer to my question I got back from Apple support.
You can only delete an app from the App Store if it was previously approved (meaning has one approved version).
From iTunes Connect Developer Guide - Transferring and Deleting Apps:
I add a new app in iTunes Connect, but can't delete it in any case because no Delete button in Additional Information section.
what I got from the iTunes Connect Developer Guide is :
If the Delete App button isn’t displayed, check that you’re the team agent and that the app is in one of the statuses that allow the app to be deleted.
but I'm team agent, and the app status is Prepare for Submission.
Now is 2016-02-20, so, guys, have you solve it so far?
You mention that "I add a new app in iTunes Connect" You can delete your app if there is at least one approved version of the app and the latest version status is one of the following:
Prepare for Submission
Invalid Binary
Developer Rejected
Rejected
Metadata Rejected
Developer Removed From Sale
Removed from Sale
if your app has a different status, you can delete the app by first rejecting the build or by removing the app from sale.
Read iTunes connect Developer Guide carefully iTunes Connect Developer Guide
How can I delete a application from "My Apps"?
When I press the app, the then press "More", all I see is: "About This App", View on App Store" and "Transfer App". There is no "Delete App".
The game status is "1.0 Prepare for Submission".
From the iOS Developer Library:
Deleting an App
If you’ve created an app in iTunes Connect that you no longer need to manage, you can delete it from iTunes Connect.
Apps can’t be deleted if they are part of a Game Center group, in an app bundle, or currently displayed on a store. You’ll want to remove the app from sale or from the group if you want to delete it. See Removing an App from Sale or Removing an App from a Group in Game Center Configuration Guide for iTunes Connect. Apps that have not been approved yet can’t be deleted; instead, reject the app. See Removing a Build from Review.
Important: If you delete your app, you can’t restore it. The SKU or app name can’t be reused in the same organization. If you’ve uploaded a binary or set up this app for the iAd App Network, your bundle ID can’t be reused.
Here's how to delete your app:
To delete an app from the store and iTunes Connect:
Open the App Details page for the app, as described in Creating an iTunes Connect Record for an App.
Make sure that the app status allows deletion. You can delete your app if there is at least one approved version of the app and the latest version status is one of the following:
Prepare for Submission

Metadata Rejected
Developer Removed From Sale
Removed from Sale
If your app has a different status, you can delete the app by first rejecting the binary or by removing the app from sale. See Viewing and Changing Your App’s Status and Availability.
Click the More menu and select Delete App.
If the Delete App button isn’t displayed, check that you’re the team agent and that the app is in one of the statuses that allow the app to be deleted.
A confirmation dialog appears. Click Delete.
Although Apple talks about "Deleting an app from iTunes Connect", I'm pretty sure deletion as explained here will not make your app disappear from iTunes Connect, simply from the AppStore. I don't believe there's a way to make your app disappear from iTunes Connect.
I am an iOS application developer and I am facing a problem with the itunes connect, due to some problems I have rejected the binary of the application in itunes connect.Now that app is showing as "Developer Rejected" state, can I remove this application from itunes connect?
