# Removing categories from apps

When you remove a category from an app, any other applications to which you assigned the category retain the assignment. Deleting or removing a category does not remove any applications from the list on the My Apps page.

**To remove a category:**

1. On My Apps, switch to the details view:

2. On the application's row, select the **X** icon in the Category column. The category is removed from that app only.

Note: When you remove the category from the last app to which it is assigned, the category is deleted.
