**QUESTION:**

Is it possible to delete a project? What is the difference between archiving and deleting a project?

**ANSWER:**

Currently, projects cannot be deleted and can only be archived. Workstatus treats archiving projects the same as deleting them. However, you can still access them and restore them if you ever have such a need in the future.
