How to remove a Gitlab project?

I have created several repositories in GitLab. One of those was for testing purposes and has some commits and branches. I want to delete or remove this repository. How can I do this?

As of today, using the gitlab API v4, you can delete a project with the following curl request:

curl -X DELETE --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <personal-access-token>" https://<gitlab-host>/api/v4/projects/<project-id>

Where:

  • personal-access-token is generated on the User settings/Access tokens page with api scope,
  • gitlab-host is Your self-hosted gitlab domain or gitlab.com,
  • project-id is at the top of the frontpage of your repository.

If successful request You should see the following response:

{"message":"202 Accepted"}

As of June 2016, click the settings cog in the top right corner and click edit project at the bottom of the list. Then, scroll to the bottom of the page to the Remove project section.

This is only available for admins/owner. As a mere project maintainer, you do not see the "Remove project" button.

  1. Go to the project page
  2. Select "Settings"
  3. Select the "General" section (you must be in the repository you want to delete it)
  4. If you have enough rights, then at the bottom of the page will be a button for "Advanced settings" (i.e. project settings that may result in data loss) or "Remove project" (in newer GitLab versions)
  5. Push this button and follow the instructions

This is only available for admins/owner. As a mere project maintainer, you do not see the "Remove project" button.

Be on to be deleted Project page >> Settings >> General >> Advanced >> Delete project

It will ask for the confirmation of the project name and once entered, choose - "yes, delete"

The user must have privileges to do so!

To remove a project, you have to be the owner of this project, or the administrator of gitlab. Otherwise you can only see "rename project" but no "remove project".

NOTE THAT: the creator project is NOT always the owner of the project. If the project is in a project-group, and the project-group is created by another one, then the owner is the creator of the project-group by default.

You can find the owner's name of the project in the page Settings -> Members.
