Overview
You may need to delete a project from time to time. You can delete several projects at a time. Please be warned that a deleted project cannot be restored! Consider an alternative: archiving unwanted projects. An archived project does not use disk space, and can be restored at any time. If you archive a space, all its projects are archived too.

Once deleted using the "Delete permanently" option, a project cannot be undeleted!
Be warned that deleting a project will result in all activities, sub-activities, time entries, messages and files associated with this project being lost!
There are two basic ways to delete a project. They are discussed below.
To delete a project(s), with the special template status, see the bottom help tip.
You may be unable to delete a project if your access level lacks the appropriate permission(s). Should this be the case, the "Delete" button or menu command will be inactive, that is, unavailable to you.
Follow one of the methods below to delete a project.
Deleting project(s) in Activity center
- While in Activity center, click on the selection mode (batch operations) button
, then select the project(s) you want to delete.
- Click "Delete" on the batch operation control panel. See Batch operations.
- Confirm the deletion.
Deleting via More actions menu
- Hover over the project you want deleted.
- Click the ellipsis button next to Details (
).
- Select Delete at the bottom of the menu.
Deleting a project via Project details section
- Once in Project details section (to access it, just hover on the project's name in Activity center then click Details), click "More actions" and select "Delete project" (see the second note above). Click "Delete permanently" or "Archive" if you want to hide the project and store it in the archive.
Deleting template projects
By default, projects with a status of "template" do not show, so you need to explicitly filter for projects with that status - then you can delete them using that 1st method, above.
If not sure how to filter for template projects, see Viewing templates on this help page.
