Overview

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

Note

On Enterprise accounts, the types of users who can use this functionality may vary due to user type settings.

When you delete a project or a blueprint 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 three ways.

From the sidebar:
