Delete A Project [Not the source code repository!] #23974
-
I want to delete a project, and I don’t want it closed, nor private; I want it gone. Expunged! Vaporized! Vanished! Blasted out into the free blocks of your filesystems! Absorbing waste heat in the write-only solid-state doorstops! Please don’t tell me to contact support, if that is the next step in your script for calming angry customers; just leave this topic unanswered, until it is possible to delete a project in a manner similar to how repositories can be deleted. Thank you! [I have edited the topic’s title to include the word /repository/, while still omitting the word /board/, in case someone searching these forums does not include the latter, either] |

Goto the project’s settings, scroll to the bottom, delete. Edit: disregard I was thinking you meant repo. |

The action depicted in this pinned announcement does not appear possible, despite this being a question lacking a designated solution; and I can’t comment there, because that pinned anouncement has been locked. |

👋 Hello, @adlai! I found this by way of a cross-link––I see this post was already marked as the accepted solution. When you originally posted this, was it not possible to accept a solution or did you mean to reference another action? 💭 |

By now, I have no idea! Although, at the time, I did not find the way to mark a reply as solving the problem during the time that I allocated to talking about it in this forum instead of learning how to use yet another website. Frustratingly enough, the question “Did this answer your question?” now appears under that same reply, despite my having already marked it as the solution, and neither the Yes nor No buttons appear selected; it’s unclear what the forum software expects, although perhaps it simply omitted a test of whether I already answered a stronger question. |

Thanks for sharing that input - that helps me with a better understanding of where you’re coming from.

I hear what you’re saying and putting myself in your shoes – that is a frustrating experience! I’ve logged an internal ticket with our team to track this as a a quality issue. It’s incredibly helpful input for us to factor in as a part of the GitHub Support Community’s user experience. Thanks for taking the time to help me understand your perspective better. |

Most of my complaints here would be more appropriate for the Discourse forums, although if I were to escalate every single problem to its forum’s meta-forum, I’d never say anything anywhere and stop using the Internet entirely. |
