Remove/Delete Suppressed skills in Developer Account
Currently, Suppressed or inactive skills remain in developer accounts and create Clutter.
Allow for Developers to manage and maintain their developer accounts for organization and clarity.
Additionally a suppressed skill in a developer account still shows as "LIVE" which is in accurate this should be adjusted immediately.

A very simple and normal feature. Shame for them. (2)

I sign this request as I have a lot of removed skills in my skill directory. On the other side I'm in doubt that this will become reality as the request now is more than 4 years old.

Another solution would be to have a "Hide removed skills from the list" checkbox somewhere on the UI.

there is no way to delete a skill that has been hidden or removed from the Developer Console. I'd like to remove suppressed skill from my dashboard

After a skill has gone live and gets removed, the changes to the skill cannot be made for invocation name. Everything else can be changed except the invocation name. There is document to deal with the error.

I have a suggestion for a clearer and better organization in the developer console. Once a skill has been submitted for certification, it cannot be removed from the Developer Portal. Which is why they keep showing up also after deleting them. This results in a confusing developer portal that is not productive. Therefore, I ask for a way to completely remove skills that have been removed from the skill store from the dashboard if the user so desires.

removing skills after they have gone live results in extended periods of wait till such time the skill is completely removed to continue the development. the console says the live skill has been removed, but development still cannot continue. it may be worth changing the status to something else to help developers to make changes to invocation name

This appears to exist but it doesn't work! I have a skill that is in the removed state. I click the delete button next to the skill, it tells me it has successfully deleted, yet remains in the skill list. Should be able to remove completely from the list.

I honestly can't believe that in late 2019 this still doesn't work when people have been asking for it for more than 3 years (at least).
Not only that, I keep hitting delete/remove for my 'in development' skill and it says it was removed successfully and then STILL shows up.
Also, I can't get into my settings any more in chrome -- I keep getting a 404 error, despite clearing cache, logging in and out multiple times AND rebooting! But it works on firefox (never had this problem before today).
The more I use the amazon/alexa stuff the worse it seems to get. get it together AMAZON -- these are simple fixes -- and NO ONE and i mean NO ONE wants to have to scroll through dozens/hundreds/thousands of their skill list (and "searching") is not an option -- let us remove them -- or maybe start getting sued.

I agree. I have an old deleted skill sitting my my developer console, which serves no purpose and just add clutter and confusion to my console. So I would like to remove it completely from the skills list in the developer console.

Please add delete skill button for removed skill in Alexa Skills list.

we, as developers, should be able to delete skills from our console that are not "live".. if it just hiding them from view, while not what I wish for, it is still better than having several redundant skills cluttering up the console

I totally agree and it's painful when you have multiple clients for different companies.
