Hi @MTS_Chiranjeevi ,
When I attempt to delete the error I got is as follows.
Further check on the detail of the sandbox account, the API credentials has the following app name which I can removed either.
Also, how this app got created is another. What I did was follow the instructions provided by WooCommerce configure PayPal.
