# Delete a project

> Erase a project with no recovery option

If you delete a project, Unity Dashboard no longer references it, and Asset Manager deletes any assets remaining in the project's trash. You can delete only archived projects that don't contain any assets or collections.

> Project deletion is not reversible.

> Only organization owners can delete a project. Project owners can't delete projects.

To delete a project, complete these steps:

1. In Asset Manager, make sure the project contains no assets or collections. Deleted assets can remain in the trash.
2. If the project isn't archived yet, [archive it](/cloud/virtual-private-cloud/admin/organizations-projects/archive-project.md).
3. In Unity Dashboard, go to **Administration** > **Projects**.
4. On the **Archived** tab, find the project in the list, and then select **Delete**.
5. To confirm the operation, select **Delete**.

   If the project still contains assets or collections, then deletion fails.
