How about this, Create a script to rename the app as follows
Myappname-hide Now the app will "disappear" in the web2py interface. The app (and everything in the app directory) remain, but Will no longer show up in web2py because the folder name contains a "-" hyphen. You need to test, but might do the trick easily. To "undelete / recycle" you remove the hyphen. Will that work for you?
