Hi all, I have created 3 smart apps, how ever I am unable to remove them, I get the following error This SmartApp can’t be deleted at this time because it is installed by one or more users ---

I had that once before. It wasn’t on my phone, but I had set it on the IDE against my home location and as soon as i removed that from the settings it was fine.
