When I try deleting the projects related entries still exist in various locations in Administration > Issues menu: ISSUE TYPES, WORKFLOWS, SCREENS, and FIELDS.

How do I completely delete project with all related entries?

There is no built in function to do that.

Multiple projects may use those assets, so they will not automatically be deleted when you delete the project. You will have to delete those assets separately.

Hi Dinesh,

The current method is to delete the project and then delete all of the project configuration items. It may be possible to delete all of it in one go using something from the Marketplace. You can also write something that queries the API for all the project configuration items for a given project, deletes the project, and then deletes the project configuration items. Be careful though, projects can share configuration items and you do not want to cause problems. Cheers!
