Deleting or Archiving a project

Question:

Is it possible to delete a project? What is the difference between archiving and deleting a project?

Answer:

Yes. You can either archive or delete a project. Archiving a project will cause data to be hidden, while deleting a project will permanently delete all time associated with that project except for payment reports.


How can I delete a project?

To permanently delete a project, please follow these steps:

Step 1

Navigate to Project management > Projects on the sidebar.

sidebar menu project management projects

Step 2

Next to the name of the project you wish to delete, click on Actions > Delete project.

actions delete project

Step 3

You will see a warning informing you of what will happen when a project is deleted.

  • Lose the project and all time tracked to it
  • Lose the to-dos inside the project and the time tracking to them
  • Reports will no longer show the project, but you will still see payment records for approved time tracked on the project
  • You can choose to archive the project instead so that the data is not lost

If you wish to continue, place a checkmark on the “I understand and wish to delete this project” box, then click Delete.
