## About Removing App Store Apps from the Library

You can remove App Store app Library Items from the Library when no licenses are assigned to the Apps and Books token in Apple Business or Apple School Manager for your Iru Endpoint tenant. First unassign the app's licenses in the portal, then remove the app from the Iru Endpoint Library.

## Unassigning App Store licenses in Apple Business or Apple School Manager

Unassign all licenses for the app from the [organizational unit](https://support.apple.com/guide/business/configure-organizational-units-axmfdbe2cb0d/web) used for your Iru Endpoint tenant's Apps and Books token in Apple Business or Apple School Manager before you remove the app from the Iru Endpoint Library.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign in to Apple Business or Apple School Manager">
    Sign in to [Apple Business](https://business.apple.com) or [Apple School Manager](https://school.apple.com) with a Managed Apple Account that can manage Apps and Books.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create an organizational unit in Apple Business or Apple School Manager">
    Follow [Apple's instructions for configuring organizational units](https://support.apple.com/guide/business/configure-organizational-units-axmfdbe2cb0d/web) in Apple Business or Apple School Manager. You will transfer your app license(s) to this organizational unit in a later step.
