6.2.7. Delete a Project
AeroGCS GREEN lets you delete projects, plans, and plots. When you delete a project, all plans and plots inside that project are removed together and cannot be recovered. You can also delete individual plans or plots from a project, which removes only the selected item.
| Important Note: The ability to delete projects, plans, and plots within AeroGCS GREEN is determined by whether you are logged in to your AeroGCS Enterprise account. |
Scenario 1: Not Logged in to AeroGCS Enterprise
If you are not logged in to AeroGCS Enterprise from within AeroGCS GREEN, you can delete projects, plans, and plots directly in the app. Deleting a project will permanently remove all associated plans and plots.
Steps to delete (not logged in):
- Delete a plot
- From the plot list, select the plot you want to remove.
- Tap the ⋮ (three dots) at the end of the plot row to open the options.
- Tap Delete. A confirmation prompt appears.
- Tap Yes to confirm, or No to cancel.
3. Delete a Project
- Open the project list and select the project you want to remove.
- Tap the ⋮ (three dots) at the end of the project row.
- Tap Delete. A confirmation dialog appears explaining that all plans and plots in the project will be permanently removed.
- Tap Yes to proceed, or No to cancel.
Scenario 2: Logged in to AeroGCS Enterprise
If you’re logged in to your AeroGCS Enterprise account from within AeroGCS GREEN:
- The rename and delete options for projects are disabled.
- The delete options for plans and plots are disabled.
Reasoning:
Since your projects are now synchronized with AeroGCS Enterprise, any deletions need to be done through the central platform to maintain data consistency.
Solution:
- To delete projects, plans, and plots when logged in, access them directly within AeroGCS Enterprise and delete them using the platform’s tools.
Here’s a summary of the deletion process based on your login status:
| Login Status | Project Deletion | Plan Deletion | Plot Deletion |
| Not Logged In | Yes (Deletes all associated plans & plots) | Yes | Yes |
| Logged in (AeroGCS Enterprise) | Not possible in AeroGCS GREEN | Not possible in AeroGCS GREEN | Not possible in AeroGCS GREEN |
