We have users uploading (Publishing) MS Project Schedule plans online. Some files are being duplicated, and we have multiple Project plans. I have been able to edit the duplicates, but only to change their status from Active to Completed.  Is there a way to remove these duplicates to clear the muddy water?

I might add that the duplicates are created due to human error. The end-user did not understand that naming the project differently creates a new project in the system, thus causing the duplicates. I am looking for a way to clean it up. Thanks, rkblack

The PM who created the duplicates should open each duplicate project, and then click the name of the project. In the upper right corner of the Project sidepane, click the More Options button (the ... button) and click the Delete Plan item on the menu. Her/she will need to do this for every duplicate project. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response, Dale. However, when I click on the (...button), there is no option for "Delete Plan" only OPen, Share, (...) Build Team.

Mighty strange. How about showing us a screenshot of what you are doing? That would help us to troubleshoot the problem.

Well, from the screenshot you shared, it is apparent you are using Project Online. If that is the case, and if you are the Project Online application administrator, you can delete these redundant projects pretty easily. Navigate to the PWA Settings page and then click the Delete Enterprise Objects link. On the Delete Enterprise Objects page, first select the "Delete the connected SharePoint sites" checkbox, then select the checkbox for each redundant project you want to delete. BE CAREFUL deleting projects, as there is no "Undo" butto to restore a deleted project! Click the Delete button to delete the redundant projects. Hope this helps.

Thanks, Dale. I found that the site is managed by our Internal IT Team, and they were able to remove the duplicates for me. Thanks for the response; it's much appreciated.
