Delete a project

After a project is marked as Completed, users with permissions can delete it. Keep in mind that you can change a completed project's status back to Active if you need to do more work on the components and participants you've collected in a project. If you delete a project, this option is no longer available. Use caution when deleting a project as the action can't be undone.

Important: You cannot delete a project associated with a review workflow. You must remove all review workflows before you can delete the project.
