# Update or delete a project

Rename a project, change its description, or delete it when the work is finished. You do all three on the
**General** tab of **Project Settings**.

## Before you begin

- To change the name or description, you need to be the Owner, an Admin, a Project Manager, or a Project Lead.
- To delete the project, you need to be the Owner, an Admin, or a Project Manager.

## Change the name or description

1. In the project, select **Project Settings** in the side menu. The **General** tab opens.
2. Edit **Project Name** or **Description**. A name can have up to 50 characters.
3. Select **Update**.

## Delete a project

Deleting a project permanently removes all its resources across all regions, including compute nodes,
datasets, fine-tuning jobs, and inference deployments, and its members lose access. The delete is permanent, so
copy anything you need before you start.

1. On the **General** tab, select **Delete Project**.
2. Tick the checkbox that confirms you want to delete the project.
3. Select **Delete**.

To start new work after the delete, [create a project](/tir/projects/how-to/create-a-project/).

If **Delete Project** is missing or a name is refused, see [Troubleshooting projects](/tir/projects/troubleshooting/projects/).
