Delete a Resource Assignment in Project View

If you assign a resource to work on a project and later want to remove that assignment, you can do that in the Project View grid.

You can also delete resource assignments in the Resource View grid or on the Labor tab of the Projects form in the Projects hub.

If the assignment has job-to-date (JTD) hours or has been saved as part of the baseline plan, you cannot delete the assignment. In those cases, however, you can still use the procedure below to delete all planned hours for the assignment.
