Delete projects in ProjectDB
Added by Wei-Li Liu about 11 years ago
Hi, I would like to delete 3 unwanted projects under Project DB management for better organization. Is it possible to do that? If so, please let me know how to remove those projects. Or, once a new project is created, it can't be removed. Thank you for your instructions.
Best,
Weili

Are you talking about deleting it from existence or just hiding it from view? We did have a "hide" function a long time ago. It looks like we've lost it. Deleting relational database entry is normally discouraged as information is often referenced by other tables.
Besides, hiding project is not the same as hiding sessions you had junk data in. Project table is a very small part of the metadata.

Hi Anchi,
Thank you for your reply. We are using Appion Project DB to sort our projects. Three of the projects were created in the beginning as tests for learning how to use Appion. Those three projects are not real projects. Therefore, I would actually like to delete them from existence. Based on your information, project table doesn't take too much memory space anyway. I guess that you would suggest us to keep them in the project table?

Yes, this would be the easy way if you don't know how to directly administrate mysql databases.
