Overview

All users except collaborators can delete projects by sending them to the Recycle bin. Only account admins can permanently delete projects.

When you delete a project that has tasks, subtasks, subfolders, and subprojects:

  • If those items are only located in that project then they're deleted when the parent project is deleted.

  • If those items are stored in additional locations, then they'll continue to live in those additional locations even after the project is deleted.

Delete a project

Deleting a project moves it to your Recycle bin where it can be permanently erased or restored. This can be done in two ways.

  1. Navigate to the space containing the relevant project.

  2. Right-click a project from the left-hand navigation panel.

  3. Select Delete 1 from the drop-down list that appears.

  4. Click Yes 2 in the confirmation window that appears.
