Managing and Deleting Projects

Learn how to organize your project portfolio, manage project visibility, and safely delete projects when they're no longer needed.

Project Management Overview

As your portfolio grows, you'll want to keep it organized and relevant. This guide covers how to manage your projects effectively, including when and how to remove outdated work.

Accessing Project Management

You can manage your projects from several locations:

• Dashboard: Go to your dashboard and click on the Projects section
• Profile Page: Visit your profile and scroll to the projects section
• Project Page: Use the edit menu on any individual project

Organizing Your Project Portfolio

Project Ordering

You can reorder your projects to highlight your best work:

• Drag and drop projects to reorder them
• Keep your strongest projects at the top
• Group similar projects together
• Consider chronological order for showing growth

Project Visibility

Control who can see your projects:

• Public: Visible to everyone on Wooble
• Private: Only visible to you
• Unlisted: Only accessible via direct link

When to Delete a Project

Consider deleting a project when:

• Outdated Work: The project no longer represents your current skills
• Poor Quality: The project doesn't meet your current standards
• Redundant: You have similar but better projects
• Privacy Concerns: The project contains sensitive information
• Broken Links: The project relies on resources that no longer exist

How to Delete a Project

Step 1: Access Project Settings

Go to the project you want to delete and click the Edit button. Look for the Delete option in the project settings.

Step 2: Confirm Deletion

Before deleting, you'll be asked to confirm your action. This is your last chance to reconsider, as deletion is permanent.

Step 3: Complete Deletion

After confirmation, the project will be permanently removed from your portfolio and cannot be recovered.

Alternative to Deletion

Instead of deleting, consider these alternatives:

• Make it Private: Keep the project but hide it from public view
• Update It: Improve the project to meet current standards
• Archive It: Move it to a separate "Archive" section
• Use as Learning: Keep it to show your growth and progress

Best Practices for Project Management

• Regularly review your portfolio (every 3-6 months)
• Keep only your best 5-10 projects visible
• Maintain a balance of different project types
• Update project descriptions and media regularly
• Backup important project files before deletion

Recovering from Mistakes

If you accidentally delete a project:

• Check if you have local backups of the project files
• Look for cached versions in your browser
• Contact support if the deletion was very recent
• Consider recreating the project with improvements
