Delete a project
Permanently delete a project, and what is destroyed or kept when you do.
Deleting a project can't be undone. In most cases, archive it instead.
Before you start
- Admins can delete any project.
- The person who created a project can delete it only while it has no logged time, purchase orders or invoices.
Steps
- Open the project and click Settings.
- Open Danger zone and click Delete project. If you can't delete this project, the reason shows in its place.
- Read the warning in Delete Project.
- Type the project's name exactly, then click Delete.
What happens next
- You return to Projects and see Project deleted.
- These are destroyed for good: messages and channels, meetings and transcripts, drawing packages with all their file versions, and contractor actions.
- These are kept but no longer linked to any project: tasks, procurement items, purchase orders, invoices, documents and time logs.
Good to know
- If the project has logged time, a purchase order or an invoice, only an admin can delete it. You see a message suggesting you archive it.
- Clients and contractors lose access to the project in their portals.
