    Hello Rajesh Gudibanda Nagaraja,

    Yes, you will be able to delete Application owners using Application.ReadWrite.All delegated API permission but in delegated scenarios with work or school accounts, the signed-in user must be assigned a supported Microsoft Entra role or a custom role with a supported role permission. The following least privileged roles are supported for this operation.

    • Hybrid Identity Administrator
    • Cloud Application Administrator
    • Application Administrator

    Hence, you are getting the 403 error.

    Only Application.ReadWrite.All delegated API permission isnt sufficient, the user must also have role assigned as stated above.

    After assigning the role, you will be able to delete the Application owner successfully.
