There may be times when you need to remove a project from your Think Crew workspace, whether it’s because a production has completed, was canceled, or needs to be restructured. Understanding how project deletion works is important for maintaining your workspace organization.
Who Can Delete Projects #
Only users with specific permissions can delete projects:
- Project Creators: Only the original creator of a project can permanently delete it from the system.
- Project Members: Users who were invited to a project cannot delete it, but they can choose to leave the project, removing it from their own view without affecting other team members.
Deleting a Project as a Creator #
If you created the project, you can permanently delete it by following these steps:
- Access the project settings (via the “Manage” button)
- Scroll to the bottom of the settings page to find the “Delete project” section
- Click the “Permanently delete project” button
- Confirm your decision in the warning dialog that appears
Leaving a Project as a Team Member #
If you were invited to join a project but wish to remove yourself:
- Access the project settings (via the “Manage” button)
- Scroll to the bottom of the settings page
- Click the “Leave project” button
- Confirm your decision when prompted
Important Considerations Before Deleting #
Before removing a project, please consider:
- Permanent Action: When a creator deletes a project, all associated data (scripts, schedules, breakdowns, etc.) is permanently removed and cannot be recovered.
- Team Impact: Deleting a project removes access for all team members. Consider notifying your team before taking this action.
- Data Export: If you might need the project information in the future, export any important schedules or documents before deletion.
- Alternative Options: Instead of deletion, consider archiving by removing team members or simply leaving the project inactive if you may need to reference it later.
When you delete or leave a project, your current project setting will automatically change to another available project in your workspace if one exists.
