This action deletes a project including all associated resources (issues, merge requests, and so on).
In [GitLab 13.2](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/220382) and later, on Premium or higher tiers,
group Owners can [configure](../../group/index.md#enable-delayed-project-deletion) projects in a group
to be deleted after a delayed period.
When enabled, actual deletion happens after number of days
specified in [instance settings](../../admin_area/settings/visibility_and_access_controls.md#default-deletion-delay).
WARNING:
The default behavior of [delayed project deletion](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/32935) in GitLab 12.6 was changed to
[Immediate deletion](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/220382) in GitLab 13.2.

#### Delayed project deletion **(PREMIUM)**
Projects in a group (not a personal namespace) can be deleted after a delay period. Multiple settings can affect whether
delayed project deletion is enabled for a particular project:
- Self-managed instance [settings](../../admin_area/settings/visibility_and_access_controls.md#default-delayed-project-deletion).
You can enable delayed project deletion as the default setting for new groups, and configure the number of days for the
delay. For GitLab.com, see the [GitLab.com settings](../../gitlab_com/index.md#delayed-project-deletion).
- Group [settings](../../group/index.md#enable-delayed-project-deletion) to enabled delayed project deletion for all
projects in the group.
#### Delete a project immediately **(PREMIUM)**
##### Delete a project immediately
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/191367) in GitLab 14.1.
