Setting the category to "archived/deleted" using api

[Zhinoo Zobairy]

Hello dear community,

I need help with this. We have deleted/archived some projects on Jira and want to change the category here as well. How should I do that?

"key": "xxx",
        "name": "xxx",
        "projectCategory": {
            "description": null,
            "id": "xxx",
            "name": "xxx",
            "self": "https://xxx.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/projectCategory/xxx"
        },
        "self": "https://xxx.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/project/xxx"

Hi @Zhinoo Zobairy 

Are you trying to change the project category, or actually archive or delete a project?

If you want to change the project category, please see the update project function:

Kind regards,
Bill

I actually only wanted to delete or archive projects.

If you follow the link I sent, you will see the other functions for delete and archive on the left side of the page.
