Deleting projects

When you delete a project, the project folder and all its contents, including any user files, are deleted from the file system and sent to the recycle bin.

If your project is segmented and you delete the main project, the segments are deleted as well. Deleting a project segment deletes only the segment and not the model it is based on.

As a general rule, delete segments from within the model. If you delete the segment using Delete from the File menu, it displays as if the segment still exists within the model. For more information, see Segmented and linked projects.

Before you delete a project, ensure that the project and all its segments are closed. Framework Manager does not support a file locking mechanism so it is possible under certain circumstances to delete a project with open segments. If you delete a project with open segments, the segments can no longer be saved.
