Delete Archive Project Completely

In regard to tinkering, my initial fumblings created projects by clicking, "Ooo, what does this button do." Then, realizing, "I hate that project name" or "I just misspelled 'fish' " or whatever the late night case of mishaps... The project gets archived.

However, for those of us, yes I must admit, who may be a bit OCD... seeing it still sitting there in archive land... is a bit... annoying. Will there ever be a way to completely delete even the archived projects? Thereby re-leaving all us who love to see things clean and squeaky.

Cheers!

 

Unity 2018.2 is here and deleting projects from the archive is still not a thing? really?

 

I didn't realize all projects were tracked in this way.

This is a good question, where is the option to delete projects from Unity's archive/dashboard?

 

Still it's not available to delete archived projects and yes; it triggers my OCD too.

 

Slighty off topic but Unity should add in the ability to archive a project without all the extra unused crap in it.. much like other professional programs can do for archiving purposes.. and would make opening a slimmed down version of the project in a beta update to test without all the extra bs texture/shader conversion bs bs bs.

And yeah should be able to delete from the Hub, bit of a hassle to delete a project, especially when they don't even bother putting in a shortcuts like open the project folder in file manager...

 

Is this referring to Unity Collab? If so, the ability to delete project data held by a 3rd party is indeed pretty important.

 

Projects you access from Unity Dashboard.

https://developer.cloud.unity3d.com/projects/

 

AFAIK you can ask them to delete stuff manually, but there is no built in way to delete a project. Even though it has been asked multiple times in the last couple of years.

 

"you can ask them"
Where?

 

Open a ticket. It's somewhere in the services backend I believe.

 

Is it still not possible to delete an archived project without opening a support ticket for it?

 

I can't believe that something important, like that, has not been implemented, since years! :-(
BTW: Voting is 223:1 !!! Questions?

 

OMG LOOK AT THE VOTES! Just had to go in and archive a bunch of stuff AGAIN because it will not allow delete. I'm very concerned about this from a security standpoint. Why is UNITY so stuck on avoiding the ability to delete your own stuff. What could be the actual reason? Why would UNITY want to FORCE a user to keep projects they never wanted in there in the first place? Is something going on here?

 

Don't do it!

 

2021 and this feature still doesn't exists... I am honestly dissapointed

 

WTF? This feature doesn't exist in 2021, I want to archive a project and STILL I'm unable to do it...

 

I am concerned about this from a security standpoint and am VERY frustrated it is being ignored HOWEVER I'm not surprised considering some of the upper echelon from EA are now running Unity.


My early tinkering with the program yielded numerous test builds and outdated/broken builds which are clutter, as well as collaboration content we are no longer pursuing.

Remember, There are other project collab/backup options available if Unity refuses to be transparent.

 

I can't erase archived while giving a try to Plastic SCM, can't build because there's "an archived" project (so it seems) with the same name in collab (that's my educated guess), and I can't erase it. I'm forced to use another name for test projects (while learning to use the tools before I buy it). Unfortunately, if this isn't fixed I'm going to stick to Git and other free and paid tools. Any update?

 

No. That has nothing to do with it. Unity has simply always sucked at making websites. If any functionality exists on the web expect it to be in a barely functional state. It has been this way since the very beginning of the company.
