Good catch. Thanks

In case anyone wants to delete a project manually, (this assumes version 3): Firstly on the project server in the "projects" folder:

• delete the zip files starting with the name of the project you want to delete; and
• in the roam.txt file delete the section with the name of the project you want to delete. If that means there are no projects listed in the roam.txt file, delete the file, as otherwise Roam throws an error in updater.py

On the machine(s) that use config manager:

• Go to the c:\Roam\projects folder and delete the subfolder with the name of the project you want to delete.
• Edit the c:\Roam\configmanager.config file and delete the section under "projects:" with the name of the project you want to delete, as Config Manager itself doesn't seem to.
• If the c:\Roam\_updates folder is present there may be an install and/or an update zip file stored there which can be deleted.

I don't think there is a way to force the project to be deleted on client machines, so (assuming none use config manager) you would need to just do the first and the third steps above on all client machines.

A delete project button in Config Manager would need to do something like publish an update for the deleted project that told Roam to delete the project if present on the client machine, or perhaps offer that in the same way updates are offered.
