This guide demonstrates how to completely delete an existing project along with all related artifacts.
[!success]- Prerequisites for proceeding
To follow along, you must meet the following prerequisites:
There are up to four different artifacts you need to delete in order to completely remove a project you no longer need, such as a sample training project:
- Connection Configuration
- Folders and Files
- Docker Container
- Database
Connection Configuration
In ORIGAM Architect, from the main menu, go to File / Connection Configuration:
In the configuration manager, select and delete the connection configuration for the project you want to remove:
Folders and Files
Within your ORIGAM projects folder (for example, in C:\OrigamProjects\), you’ll find the project folders for all existing projects. To delete a project, such as “MyTestingApp”, you need to remove the entire C:\OrigamProjects\MyTestingApp folder, including all subfolders and files.
To delete a project folder, you must first disconnect from the project in Architect (Menu / File / Disconnect).
Docker Container
If you created an ORIGAM Server for your project, you will also need to delete the corresponding Docker container.
Open Docker, select the container related to your project, and delete it by clicking the delete icon:
Database
The final step is to delete the database associated with the project you are removing. Depending on the database tools you’re using, you can simply drop the entire database.
For example, in Azure Data Studio, right-click on the database you wish to delete and select Drop (Preview):
In the next step, check both available checkboxes and click Drop:
Now, your project is completely deleted and can rest in peace.
