[git] 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?

This question is related to git gitlab

The answer is


As per January 13,2018 Do as follow:

  1. Click on Project you want to delete.
  2. Click Setting on right buttom corner.
  3. Locate the Advanced settings section and click on the 'Expand' button
  4. Then Scroll down the page and click on the Remove Project button.
  5. Type your project name. Note : Removed project CANNOT be restored! and click on confirm.
  6. Then project will be deleted and soon 404 page error will be displayed for that project.

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.


As of October 2017:
1. In the list of your projects, click on the project you want to delete;
2. In the left sidebar, click on the 'Setting' button;
3. Locate the 'Advanced settings' section and click on the related 'Expand' button;

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.


It is hidden in Setting menu, section general (not repository!) at https://gitlab.com/$USER_NAME/$PROJECT_NAME/editand it again hidden in a section "Advance settings"- you need to click a "expand" button.


Click on Project settings which you want to delete-->General project settings-->Expand-->Advanced settings-->Remove project.
