Hi all,

Is there a best way to remove all Identity accounts for an application from IdentityIQ?

We have a requirement to decommission an application from our environment.

Thanks in advance

Hi @bhoyars_1 ,

The correct command to delete the application object from IIQ console is

```auto
delete application <app name or ID>

```

This will removes all of its owned, or subordinate, objects.  
@rishavghoshacc ,

You can delete the application using either the debug option or the IIQ console option.

@rishavghoshacc

Just write a dummy customization rule and return null and within your aggregation job make sure detect deleted accounts is selected
