Delete a project
This function allows you to delete a project. Deleting a project deletes all of the associated items owned by you, including web maps, feature services, document items, and so forth. The project group and the entire project folder are permanently removed from your content in your ArcGIS organization. Once a project is deleted, the project is no longer accessible by any project member, including the original project owner. For projects you did not create, you do not have these options unless you are an administrator in your ArcGIS organization.
Note:
If a project is opened by a user other than the project owner, the system automatically creates a copy of the project with project defaults (project extent, bookmarks, active scenario, data layers, basemap, dashboard settings, and dashboard cards) in the user's My Content folder. These items are not deleted, as they are not accessible by the project owner.
- If you have already signed in and opened a project, click the Open Menu button
and click Open.
The Open Project dialog box appears.
- Click Delete in the item card of the project you want to delete.
The Delete Project dialog box appears. Items associated with this project that will be deleted are displayed on this page.
- Click Delete Project.
- Click Delete Project again to confirm the deletion.
The project and the associated items created under your user account are deleted.
