Leave a project or delete it
You can leave a project whenever you like. Only its founder can delete a project: they type its name and enter a code sent to their e-mail. A deleted project does not come back.
Leaving: everyone except the founder
Deleting: the founder only
Leaving a project
In Project settings › Project status, press Leave on the Leave project row and confirm. Settings › Account and profile › Your projects has Leave project too; there you can also leave a note for the founder and the leads.
Once you leave, you no longer see the project's channels, rooms and tasks. Your messages and the files you uploaded stay in the project. Open tasks only you were on go to the founder; on shared tasks, your name simply drops off. To come back, you need a new invitation.
If you are the founder
The founder can't simply leave. In Settings › Account and profile › Your projects, press Leave project, pick someone under New owner and press, for example, Hand over to Deniz and leave. If nobody else is on the team, you can't leave; you can delete or pause the project instead.
Deleting a project
- In Project settings › Project status, under Hard-to-undo actions, press Delete project.
- If Back up before deleting stays on, the app saves what it keeps on this computer to the project's backup folder.
- Type the project's name exactly as it is and press Send the code.
- Enter the 6-digit code from your account's e-mail under The code from your e-mail; it is valid for 10 minutes.
- Press Delete project.
The project is deleted for good, with its channels, messages, tasks, pipeline and the files Devchaos keeps for it. It disappears from your teammates' apps too; anyone who has the app open sees Project deleted.
Something went wrong?
The Leave button is greyed out.
You are the project's founder. Transfer ownership first, or hand the project over and leave from Settings › Account and profile.
The code didn't arrive.
It goes to your account's e-mail address; check the spam folder too. After half a minute you can press Send again; a new code makes the old one useless. After five wrong tries you need a new code.
The Delete project button stays greyed out.
Type the project's name exactly, with the same capital letters, and enter all six digits of the code.
