Before you delete
- Download any marking sheets or grade files you still need. See Export to Excel and PDF.

Deleting a project frees a slot
Each plan has a limit on active assessments. Deleting a project frees a slot for a new one. On Free, this is how you start a new assessment.
Delete everything
To remove your account as well, see Delete your account.
Backups
Our Privacy Policy notes that residual backups and logs may persist for a limited period after deletion.
Common questions
- Can I restore a project I deleted by mistake?
