## **🔍 Overview**

Deleting a project in Search Atlas permanently removes it and all associated data from your account. This action cannot be undone, so it is important to review what will be lost before proceeding.

## **⚠️ Before You Delete**

Keep the following in mind before permanently deleting a project:

- **All data is permanently lost.** Tracked keywords, rank history, reports, and settings tied to the project will be deleted and cannot be recovered.
- **The action is irreversible.** There is no archive or recycle bin — once deleted, the project is gone.
- **Consider alternatives.** If you only need to pause tracking or free up a project slot temporarily, check whether pausing or reassigning the project is an option instead.

## **🗂️ How to Delete a Project**

To delete a project, navigate to your list of projects within Search Atlas. Locate the project you want to remove, open its settings or options menu, and look for the option to delete the project. You will typically be shown a confirmation prompt before the deletion is finalized — read the warning carefully before confirming, as the action cannot be undone.

If you are looking to remove a Local (Google Business Profile) project, navigate to your Local or GBP projects section, find the relevant project, and follow the same process of accessing its options and selecting the delete action.

If you are unsure where to find these options in the current version of the platform, our support team can walk you through the exact steps for your account.

## **✅ After Deletion**

Once a project is deleted, you will notice the following:

- The project no longer appears in your project lists.
- Any project slot previously used by the deleted project may become available for a new project, depending on your plan.
- Historical data, tracked keywords, and reports for the deleted project are no longer accessible.
