Delete a project

Which projects can be deleted?

You can request deletion for:

• Single-org projects owned by your organization, where no other organizations are participating. 
• Multi-org projects owned by your organization, where at least one other organization is participating. 

Oracle organizations are not counted as a participating organizations.

If a project doesn't appear in the deletion list, it may be because your organization doesn't own it, you don't have the required permission, you aren't a participant, or the current filters exclude it.
