Delete a project

When a project is no longer needed, you can delete it, which completely removes the project and all its data from the database.

Note

You must have organization admin permissions to complete this task.

Important considerations

  • Project folders must be empty before they can be deleted.

  • Once a project is deleted, there's no way to restore the project. When a project is deleted, all the data in that project is deleted. However, this doesn't automatically free up space in the database. A database admin must manually compress the database.

  • To clean up your workspace or to remove a project from view, archive the project rather than delete it.

  • Projects can be stored in empty folders.

To delete a project:

  1. Select Admin > Project, then select the project you want to delete.

    The Project tab is highlighted along with a project in the list of recently viewed projects.

  2. Select Actions > Delete Project.

    The Actions drop-down list under the Project tab displays three options, with Delete Project highlighted.

  3. Review the list of items, confirm the deletion, then select Delete Project.

    The Confirm Project Delete window displays the items, attachments, baselines, relationships, and integrations that will be deleted, along with an option to confirm your selection.

The project is deleted in the background, so you can continue working. You receive an email when the deletion is finished.

Note

The project isn’t removed immediately. A daily task runs at midnight UTC to permanently remove data from the database. Once the project is permanently removed from the database, you can remove item types associated with that project.

Any reused items that link to attachments or images in rich text owned by the deleted project are no longer available.
