If you select this option, all fields on the General tab of the Projects form are empty, except for the Location of Elements of Cost section. The Level option is enabled and its value is 2.
The Code option is disabled and its value is empty. Moreover, all of the fields on the other tabs of the Projects Form View are empty except for Scheduling Tool on the Schedule Integration tab which defaults to None.

The copied project becomes populated with the original project’s information except for certain fields where unique values are required, such as the Project field on the General tab, the Schedule Projects Information field on the Schedule Integration tab, and the rights information on the Access Control tab of the Projects Form View.

A message displays informing you that the process has been sent to the System Queue to delete the project. PM Compass adds a "Delete related workflows for <project name>" process to the Process Queue Manager.
When you delete a project in PM Compass, a scheduled job is created to delete all the PM Compass data associated with the project in the following order:
All workflows and child workflows
Cost and schedule sandbox projects
Snapshots
Change logs
Saved searches that reference the deleted project
The saved project named as a default in the searches, when you create a new workflow, and as a default in the global search in dashboards
The scheduled job entries in the process queue
Progress entries
Links on the project and/or control accounts
PM Compass project
The project is still visible and usable in the Project Form view and in other areas such as the Project Search dialog box until the project deletion process is complete.
In the event that the project deletion process fails, you can click this button again, or you can resubmit the failed process queue to restart the process.
When you delete a project that is also in Cobra, the project is not deleted from Cobra, only PM Compass.
