Deleting items from the database

Deleting items frees up space in the database but does not remove items from the project files that are the source of the data. Before you delete items from the database, make sure no one is currently using the Microsoft Project Central database. To learn how to do this, see srvsetup.htm on the Microsoft Project CD or installation point.

To delete items from the database:

  1. Point to Admin on the menu bar, click Server Mode, and then click Single User.
  2. Point to Admin on the menu bar, and then click Delete From Database.
  3. Under Specify the items you want to delete, select the items you want to delete from the the database.
  4. Under Specify the users whose items should be deleted, select users you want to delete the items for. 
  5. At the top of the page, click Delete.

Caution   Items removed from the database are permanently deleted from the Microsoft Project Central database, but not from Microsoft Project.
