You can delete and restore a Project including the content and user resource information.

Permissions required to delete a project:

Only available to ShareFile Premium subscribers
Project Owner is the only role that can delete a project. No other role including Account Admininstrator, account Super User or counterpart can delete a project created by you.

Warning:

The only role that can add additional Project Owners is the current Project Owner only. So before deleting a user who is the Project Owner, you must assign an additional Project Owner. If a new Project Owner is not assigned before removing the current Project Owner, a new Project Owner cannot be added and the Project cannot be deleted.

To delete a project:

In your ShareFile account, navigate to your Projects dashboard.
Select the Project that you want to delete.
Select the ellipses by More options.
Select Delete.

The Delete Project confirmation popup displays.
Select Delete project to confirm or Cancel to keep the project.

The Deleted project message displays briefly confirming the project is no longer available.

NOTE:

Upon deletion, the owner of the project has the ability to restore the deleted project and resources in the project within 45 days of deletion. For more information, see Restore a deleted project.
