Deleting a project

There are two steps to deleting a project:

  1. Move the project to the Trashed Projects folder.

  2. Delete the project permanently from the Trashed Projects folder.

Trashed Projects

  • If you plan to get rid of a project, you can put it in the Trashed Projects folder.

    • Moving a project to Trashed Projects does not delete a project or put it in a queue for automatic deletion at a later date.

    • You can store projects in Trashed Projects for as long as you like. You have to manually delete a project to permanently remove it.

  • When you decide it’s time to remove a project from your Trashed Projects folder, you can choose to

    • Leave () any projects on which you are a collaborator (projects you do not own).

    • Delete () (permanently) any projects that you own.

    • Restore () projects to move them back to the main project list.

    • Archive () any project and move it to the Archived Projects folder.

How does trashing a project affect collaborators?

  • Putting any project in the Trashed Projects folder won’t affect collaborators on that project—it only affects where the project appears on your projects page.

  • You cannot delete projects shared with you, i.e., projects that you do not own and where you are a collaborator. You can only archive them or place them in Trashed Projects and then Leave them.

  • You can delete only those projects that you own. Deleting a project will permanently remove it—for you and any collaborators on your project.

How to leave a shared project (one not owned by you)

You cannot permanently delete shared projects not owned by you. If you move a shared project into the Trashed Projects folder you have the option to Leave that project but not to Delete it: the Delete icon is replaced by the Leave icon.
