Delete projects, activities, and events

💡 Note:

To delete projects, activities, or events, you must:

Have Manage rights for the Workplan or the respective parent activity (see Roles, access levels, and access rights)
Ensure the current plan version is in Edit mode (see Manage workspace plan versions)

⚠️ Before you delete:

Deleting a project always deletes all its sub-activities and events. When you delete an activity that has sub-activities or events, EMDESK asks whether to delete them too (Delete element and subordinate items) or only the activity (Delete item only); kept sub-items move up one level. Deleted items are moved to the trash and can only be restored with the help of our technical support.
If the item is not the last one in its parent list, the IDs of all following items are renumbered.
