Delete/Remove Apple Games

Hi Team,

I can't seem to find an option to manually delete Apple games that are no longer associated with my AppleID/Game Centre Account in the Game App on iOS.
I've tried requesting a manual sync, and whilst data was updated (for other/new games) the following games aren't being removed.

- Beat Bop: Pop Star Clicker
- Tinker Island: Adventure Story
- VS. Racing 2

Any assistance would be highly appreciated :D

On your exophase profile page, hover over each game image, click the pencil icon to edit game. On there, you can hide and delete the games you want.
 
For now I think you'll have to hide them. I tried removing but they came back after a re-scan.

I don't think the delete function in that app actually removes it from your history. Another user that is particular about this stuff was testing it and he found it was possible to fully delete in a really old iOS version (I think version 9). The games he deleted I confirmed were not scanned back in. Not too sure why the behavior was changed in the latest version.

Interesting, I was hoping iOS finally re-introduced an option to remove the Game Centre Data. Yeah, back on iOS 9 games rermoved via the Game Centre app were permanent (at the time). However, since iOS 26 introduced the Apple Games app all of those games reappeared (but never synced through to Exophase). Then I noticed recently that any game's purchase that was hidden via the App Store disappeared from Apple Games. Managed to remove the above 3, but it's clear they're still being stored somewhere.

Does a full resync grab them again, or is that all but guaranteed if they're coming back after an individual removal?

Thanks for your time.

Yes - everything is fully removed on individual removal so yeah the data is coming back from Apple when doing a full resync. We don't keep any records of what was deleted to exclude it from future scans. I might add an option for that in the future though. Then it wouldn't matter or not if it was removed from the service itself.
 
Hi Team,

I've managed to get an old version of Game Centre running on iOS 6. Through this I have deleted the originally queried games plus Tiny Rails. Would it be possible to try an indidividual removal and full re-sync again?

Kind Regards,
