# Delete a Project

Deleting a project is a permanent action that removes all the data associated with that project. Please ensure that you have backed up any necessary information before proceeding. Follow these steps to delete a project:

**Open the Project:**

* Begin by navigating to the main dashboard where all your projects are displayed.
* Click on the project you wish to delete to open it. This will take you to the project's overview page, where you can access all the information and settings related to the project.

**Navigate to the Bottom of the Overview Page:**

* Once you're on the project's overview page, scroll down to the very end of the page. Take your time to ensure you don't accidentally skip over any important information or settings as you scroll.

**Locate and Click the Delete Button:**

* At the bottom of the overview page, look for a small button labeled "Delete this project." This button is usually positioned in the middle of the page, making it distinct from other options.
* Click on "Delete this project" to initiate the deletion process. You may be prompted with a confirmation dialog box asking you to confirm your decision to delete the project. This step is crucial as it prevents accidental deletions.

* Finalize the Deletion: To proceed, confirm the deletion as instructed by the dialog. This involves clicking a "Confirm” button, if you have any doubts or wish to back up data, this is your last chance to cancel the action.
