Delete a Project

It's a good practice to delete inactive projects when they're no longer needed. Doing this frees up storage space and cuts down the overall number of projects in the organization, thereby saving resources.

There are two places in the VB Studio interface where project owners (and organization administrators) can delete projects:

Tip:

Deleted projects are listed in the Recent Activities stream on the Organization page's Activities tab. This tab is available to organization administrators only.

Delete a Project from the Project Administration Properties Page

A project owner can delete a project from the Project Administration : Properties page.

To delete a project:
  1. Open the project.
  2. In the left navigator, click Project Administration Project Administration.
  3. Click Properties.
  4. In the Properties page, click Delete Project.
  5. In the Delete Project dialog, select the I understand that my project will be permanently deleted check box.
  6. Click Delete.

Delete a Project from the Organization Page

A project owner (or organization administrator) can delete a project from the Projects tab on the Organization page:

  1. In the left navigator, click Organization Organization.
  2. Click Projects.
  3. (Optional) In the Projects tab, select Owner to show a project list that contains all the projects that you own.
    If you skip this step, you'll notice that some projects don't display an action menu. You don't own those projects.
  4. Click the three dots the Action Menu icon at the end of the row, and select Delete to delete the selected project.

    The Delete Project dialog is displayed. Cancel is available initially but Delete is only available after you select the checkbox to acknowledge the pending deletion.

    You'll only see this checkbox if you delete a project as the project owner (not as an organization administrator) or, if you are permanently deleting the project as an organization administrator. When an organization administrator simply deletes a project, the checkbox isn't shown.

  5. Select the checkbox, and then click Delete.

    Completed Delete Project dialog

Organization administrators have additional deletion options. From the project list, they can select a single project and then click the three dots the Action Menu icon at the end of the row, or select one or more projects and then click Update # Selected Projects, to access these options:
  • Delete an active project
  • Postpone the permanent deletion of a deleted project
  • Remove a deleted project (or projects) forever
  • Undelete a deleted project

The Recent Activities feed on the Organization page's Activities tab records the above actions so that organization administrators can monitor how and when projects are deleted and undeleted.
