Im just curious how everyone else deletes, destroys, erases, trashes, their old projects that are no longer needed. Im not talking about archiving... im talking totally erasing. Maybe you created a test project you now what to delete, tell me your steps to delete it. :)

For a MSDE project, I have to first detach it from the database using Enterprise Manager. Then, you just shift+delete.

I steal somebody else’s login Id login in as them and delete everything that I can......(This is the reason why I am in a locked room with limited access and padded walls)

I delete projects from Project Administrator. No need to detach MSDE stuff. I havn't deleted SQL projects yet and don't use Oracle.
I first delete them (folder goes hidden and is moved to 'recycled projects'). If no-one complaisn after a week, it gets deleted from the 'recycled projects'.
If a project root has te be deleted, I use IE (but then MSDE must be stopped or projects detached)

they are physically deleted when the project is deleted from the 'recycled projects' - folder in PA
