Overview

All users except Collaborators, Contributors, or Viewers can delete folders by sending them to the Recycle bin. Only admins can permanently delete folders.

Note

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

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

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

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

Delete a folder

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