Deleting User Errors Data

Important

Visual Studio App Center is scheduled for retirement on March 31, 2025. While you can continue to use Visual Studio App Center until it is fully retired, there are several recommended alternatives that you may consider migrating to.

Learn more about support timelines and alternatives.

Since Data Subject requests to be forgotten must be serviced within 30 days, App Center Errors retains raw data for 28 days. In the event that you wish to stop collecting all Errors data from a specific end-user, there are two ways to do so:

Block incoming Errors data by install ID

Step 1. If you're already keeping a mapping between the App Center install IDs to a way to identify your users, you can skip to Step 3.

Step 2. Continuously Export to Blob Storage and search for a specific install ID following the steps explained in the Install ID section.

Step 3. Block incoming Errors data. For each install ID found in Step 1, call the following App Center API:

PUT https://appcenter.ms/v0.1/apps/{owner_name}/{app_name}/devices/block_logs/{install_id}

Additional details are available in the Analytics API section.

Block incoming Errors data by app ID

To stop processing all data for a given app ID, call the following App Center API:

PUT https://appcenter.ms/v0.1/apps/{owner_name}/{app_name}/devices/block_logs

Additional details are available in the Analytics API section.
