# Delete Project

Deleting a Ghidra project permanently removes the project and all its associated programs and information from storage. This operation cannot be undone. A deleted project cannot be recovered nor can any of its programs. Therefore, much care should be exercised when using this function. You may want to archive the project first, close it, and then delete it.

You can delete a project if the project is not your current project.

To delete a project,

1. Select FileDelete Project from the menu. The Delete a Ghidra Project dialog will appear.

2. Select the project, i.e. project_name.gpr, to delete or enter its name in the File name field. The project cannot be your active project.
3. Click the Delete Project button.
4. If the selected project is not your active project, then the Confirm Delete dialog as shown below is displayed; click the Delete button to permanently delete the indicated project.
