Use this interactive demo to learn how to permanently remove a project from your GitLab account.

Quick summary

To delete a project in GitLab, navigate to the project's General Settings, scroll to the Advanced section, and confirm deletion using the required phrase. This process is permanent and removes the project and all its data from your GitLab account.


Steps

  1. Make sure you are logged in to your correct GitLab account.
  2. Navigate to your homepage and click on the search bar.
  3. Choose the project you want to delete.
  4. Scroll through the toolbar on the left side, select Settings, and click General.
  5. Scroll down and select Advanced.
  6. Navigate through the page and click Delete project.
  7. Enter the confirmation phrase exactly as instructed, then click Yes, delete project.
  8. Return to the homepage to confirm the project has been successfully deleted.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to delete a GitLab project is essential for maintaining a clean, organized repository workspace — especially for teams managing multiple projects across groups. GitLab's deletion flow includes a confirmation step that prevents accidental removal of repositories, pipelines, and associated data. This makes the process safe but non-obvious for new users, so a guided walkthrough helps teams execute it confidently. Understanding this workflow reduces the risk of cluttered namespaces and ensures proper project lifecycle management in GitLab.
