Remove a project from Docker Desktop

If a project is associated with a Git repository, you can remove it from Docker Desktop. When a project is deleted, you can no longer run the project from the Projects view, but its run configuration still exists remotely in the cloud.

This means that you can later open the project and associate it with the remote run configuration without having to specify the run command again. None of your local code is deleted when removing a project from Docker Desktop.

To remove a project from Docker Desktop:

  1. Sign in to Docker Desktop, and go to Projects.

  2. Select the More actions menu next to the project, and then select Remove from Docker Desktop.

Delete a project

Deleting a project removes it from Docker Desktop and deletes all configuration locally and remotely from the cloud. When a project is deleted, you can no longer run the project from the Projects view. None of your local code is deleted when you delete a project from Docker Desktop.
