Projects & Tags Projects Handbook How to permanently remove a project from your Timely account.

Removing a project from Timely is quick and painless. Just remember that once a project is deleted, all of the entries, tasks and invoices based on that project will be deleted as well — meaning you can’t get that project data back!

Delete a project in Timely

Method 1

Navigate to the Project Page. Use the ”…” on the far right-hand side to open a dropdown menu for the project you want to delete. Select “Delete” and type in DELETE again to confirm — your project will be gone forever!
