We do not currently have a recommended procedure that both
- deletes project-related database records
- leaves the project directory intact
An imperfect workaround might be:
- Detach the project
- Prepare and set aside a copy of the (detached) project directory
- Re-attach the project
- [Caution: deletes project data on filesystem] Delete the project via the browser interface or (CLI)
delete_project()
After database records for the project’s jobs have been deleted, disk space needs to be reclaimed by compacting the events, fs.files and fs.chunks collections.
Please see this topic regarding the authorization for admin commands like compact.
