I can not find a way to delete projects from the Unity Hub. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for any help with this.

Hello @ ,

Currently this is not possible within the Hub, but the feature is already in our backlog.

close hub, run app, delete projects you don’t want to see, run hub

Works like a charm…thanks bocs. Really nice to have.

This is odd! If there is an external app, how come there is no internal app? This feature is desired for over 5+ years.

I managed to do this by opening the Unity version executable directly from Explorer / Finder e.g. “C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2018.3.8f1\Editor”. The old Unity Open Project popup appears with a cleaned project list.
Quit Unity without opening, reopen Unity Hub et voilĂ

How long is this backlog? I feel like this feature was promised over a year ago and I don’t think it’s a terribly difficult thing to implement. Is there a roadmap we can see? It feels like everything we’ve gotten since the 1.0.0 release has primarily bugfixes, but that was back in September. This feels like a pretty simple QoL fix.

Barring a fix for this problem anytime in the near future could you [Unity] provide the location where Hub stores the Projects list? That way we could go in and edit it directly to remove old projects. It gets REALLY old scrolling through lists of old projects just to get to what you want.

What do you mean by “old projects”? Projects that you no longer work on but you don’t want to delete? If so, to make them disappear from the list, you’d just need to move them from their current directory to a new one. :slight_smile:

2.0 beta 3 still can’t remove projects from the list

I’m still looking for that list; it’s obviously somewhere on my computer. If it’s editable, removing projects from the list should be easy.

Where to find the list and delete it: Allow project deletion via unity hub.

Hi Unity Team,
it is quite embarrassing that this feature is still missing and everyone has to delete it manually in the registry… As it is quite normal to reorganize your folder structure from time to time or you just started a temporary project for testing purposes and deleted it afterwards… this is a absolute basic feature. I really wonder how you can publish the unity hub without it… it’s like programming something good, but forgot the start button.

Sorry for this - maybe a little non constructive - feedback, but I really can’t believe for how long I always see the answer: It is planned and will come soon. In all outher matters I’m a real fan of Unity and would like to use the Unity hub too… some day…

Cheers and so long

If you created a project and deleted it; it will automatically disappear from the list in the Hub. All you have to do is quitting the Hub from the tray.

Deleting the list in the registry is not that much of a pain if you bookmark the place (in “Favourite”). :wink:

so i just updated to 2.0.0 on linux, and this is still not possible even with the new UI. Anyone know where UnityHub stores the project list on linux?

Yet another feature that doesn’t work properly in Unity. Why would you even consider not have the option to remove a project? How dumb!

It’s not like it would be completely impossible to remove projects from the list since:

  • you can delete your projects in the Explorer/Finder,
  • Unity Hub updates itself accordingly after you have removed a project; just don’t forget to quit it from the tray,
  • you can edit the registry, if you are fussy about how clean your registry must be.

Anyway, the team is working on removing the registry key and storing the list in a text/json file, easier to edit. Then, there will probably have a “delete project” directly in the Hub.

If you know how to do that, you can contact them and offer your help. :slight_smile:

Not sure about you but I work full time with Unity, have done for over 5 years. It’s little things like this that add up, continually having to do all these hacks. It’s becoming a nightmare.

“Lets make a Hub to allow people to create and manage their projects”
“Yeah, but lets leave out a delete function, that makes sense…”
