# Delete a Project (https://www.shipfox.io/docs/how-to/set-up-work/delete-project)

Description: Stop a project's work and delete everything it owns.

Delete a project when its workflows and agents should stop for good. The
project disappears at once, its active work stops, and Shipfox deletes what it
owns. A deletion is permanent.

## Before you begin [#before-you-begin]

You need to be a workspace admin.

The workspace's default project can't be deleted. Its settings show a
**Default** badge.

## Delete the project [#delete-the-project]

### Open the general settings

Open the project, select **Settings**, then select **General**.

### Delete it

Under **Delete project**, select **Delete project**. Type the project name
to confirm, then select **Delete project** again.

Shipfox opens the workspace's projects.

## What happens when you delete a project [#what-happens-when-you-delete-a-project]

* The project's pages return "not found". No new run, trigger, or agent turn
  starts for it.
* Active runs, including listening jobs, are canceled. Active agent turns stop.
  Slack threads and Linear sessions of the project's conversations get no
  further reply.
* Shipfox deletes the project's workflows, triggers, secrets and variables,
  cache, agents, conversations, runs, logs, and annotations. If Shipfox stores
  the project's config, it deletes that repository too.
* If the project's config is in one of your repositories, that repository is
  not changed. Its `.shipfox/` folder stays.
* Usage records stay.

The project's name and slug can be used again right away. Its repository can
become another project's config repository right away.

## Verify the deletion [#verify-the-deletion]

The project is no longer listed on the **Projects** page or in the project
switcher, and its old URL shows "Project not found".
