Deleting a project

{: #delete-project}

When you delete a project, destroy any resources that were deployed by configurations within the project to avoid additional costs. {: shortdesc}

By default, when you delete a project, any resources that were deployed are destroyed automatically. Confirm that this setting is enabled by opening your project and going to Manage > Settings. If this setting is disabled and you delete your project, the resources remain deployed, but you lose the ability to manage them easily with your project. Deployed resources continue accruing costs in your target account. {: important}

To delete a project, complete the following steps:

1. In the {{site.data.keyword.cloud}} console, click the Navigation menu icon > Projects.

2. Click the Actions icon > Delete project for the project that you want to delete.

3. Enter the project name into the required field. Make sure that you want to delete a project because after you delete a project, the action can't be undone. {: important}

4. Click Delete.
