Archiving, deleting, and leaving projects

There are two options for removing projects from your project dashboard: Archiving and Trashing.

Archiving

The Archived projects page is for projects you want to keep around but wish to remove (archive) from the main list in your project dashboard. Archived projects are not in a queue to be deleted.

Trashing

The Trashed projects page is for projects you intend to delete (or leave) permanently. For help on deleting projects, see Deleting a project.

To permanently delete a project, or to leave a project that is owned by someone else, you must first select the Trash option, then, in Trashed Projects, select the Delete or Leave option.
