Deleting Projects

Permanently delete a project only when you are sure the record and all attached tasks and files should be removed from LiftOff.

When to use this page​

Remove archived projects that should no longer be stored in your workspace, such as test projects or events with no retention requirement.

Who can do this​

Only owners and admins can permanently delete projects, and only after the project is archived.

How to delete a project​

  1. Archive the project first. See Archiving Projects.
  2. Go to Archived Projects in the management menu, or open the project from the Archived projects list.
  3. Select Delete and confirm.

Deletion removes the project, its tasks, and its file records from LiftOff. Uploaded files are removed as part of the process.

Next steps​

  • The project no longer appears in any project list.
  • Audit history may retain a record that the project was deleted.
  • This action cannot be undone.

Good to know​

  • Members cannot permanently delete projects, even archived ones.
  • Active projects must be archived before deletion.
  • Confirm you have exported anything needed (reports, files) before deleting.
