Delete a project?
« on: September 09, 2006, 03:13:27 pm »
I've been searching the menu system and help system for longer than I will admit to find a way to delete a project that I do not need.

Need a clue please

If you want to remove a project from the recently used projects list - seen in the File menu or the Open Project dialog - you can do this by selecting the file in the Open Project dialog list, and clicking Remove Selection from List (above the list on the right side).

If you mean that you want to delete the project root node, and all that is under it, there is (sometimes) a way.

You may create additional root nodes in an EAP file or repository. If you have done that, just select one of these root nodes in the Project View tree, and control-delete or left-click and select delete from the context menu. This should work.

Note that this does not work if you only have a single root node. EA will not allow a project to exist without at least one root. [AFAIK this must be the root node EA created when you first built the EAP file or repository.] You can rename this node if you want, but EA insists it be there.

If you mean how do you remove everything, that is a different matter. You have to either delete the EAP file, remove the repository using your DBMS' means to remove a schema, or live with the above restriction.

No, you can't have it!
