Archive or delete a project

Updated:

Project admins can archive or delete a project they no longer need. First switch off Active on the project's General tab and save. Archive Project and Delete Project then appear below it.

Archive

Use this when you want to keep the content.

  • The project stays read-only and keeps everything.
  • It leaves the Projects list and the project filters. Find it on the Projects page under Status › Archived.
  • Links to its issues still work.
  • It no longer counts towards your plan's project limit. Its files still count towards storage.
  • Take Out of Archive makes it inactive again. That needs room in your project limit.

Delete

Use this when nothing in it needs to stay.

  1. Click Delete Project and type the project key.
  2. The project stays read-only, shows the date it goes, and no longer counts towards your project limit. The default is 30 days. Project and workspace admins get an email.
  3. Until then, Keep Project takes it back.
  4. On that date its issues, worklogs, documentation and files are removed for good. Time reports no longer include them. The key is free again.

You can only delete in the browser, not with an API token or through Claude.
