Can Projects be removed from JIRA?

Question

I'm doing some analysis of current Projects in JIRA and I can see that some Projects have zero Issues attached to them or, that some Projects have Issues that have not been updated in years.

Do I have the option of removing Projects so that they no longer appear in the listing of Projects?  There are certain Projects we no longer want to have Issues associated with them.

Thank you!

You may delete projects in JIRA if that is what you're asking.

Hi @Patrick Dooley,

You can update the permission schemes in these projects to have all permissions to be blank. This will remove it from the general user list of Projects, but it will always show up in the admin list of Projects. This link outlines the process as well.
