I Need to Delete a Workspace or Project
Understand what deleting a track or workspace removes, before you do it, and what to do instead when you only want to tidy up or cut someone's access.
In short
- Deleting can't be undone. Download signed PDFs first.
- To cut someone's access, remove them from the track instead of deleting it.
- Only the workspace Owner can delete a workspace, and it removes everything.
- 1
Delete a project from the project list
Open the track's ⋮ menu and choose Delete track, then confirm. This removes the track and its files, comments, credits and agreements for everyone on it. It can't be undone, so check with your team first.

Consider whether you need to delete
If you only want a tidier track list, move the track into a folder instead. In the App, choose a folder in the Move track sheet and click Move here. In Vandall Business, the Release Calendar still shows every dated track. Deleting a track also deletes its signed agreements, which is usually not what you want.

Remove a collaborator instead of deleting
To cut someone's access, open Members on the track, click ⋮ next to their name and choose Remove Member. You can also remove them on the Users page. They lose access straight away, and the track stays as it is for everyone else.

Deleting a workspace
Only the workspace Owner can delete a workspace, and it removes everything for the whole organisation: tracks, files, members and agreements. You rarely need to. Contact support instead of deleting it yourself, so you have a record that it was confirmed.

What to save first
Before you delete anything, download the signed agreement PDFs and any files you want to keep. Vandall doesn't keep copies of deleted tracks. Keep a copy of any agreement registered with a PRO outside Vandall anyway.
Tips
- Renaming or moving a track is almost always better than deleting it. Keep deleting for test tracks and genuine mistakes, not for tidying up.
