How do I close projects with category RP?

[Lisa Rennison]

I have 2 projects open from when I first started working at my company 2 years ago. The default category was RP (third party) but that is not the side of the business I work on. There is no option to"close" those projects so they just sit in my queue and will not go away. How do I get rid of these projects??

Hi Lisa - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

There's not currently a way to "Close" or "Archive" a project - but it's coming. See this feature request with Atlassian to vote for and follow:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-17064

Also, if you want to prevent people from creating issues on the project, you can follow the suggestions in this post:
