        The following projects are visible on wikitech but do not
        contain any instances.  My inclination is to delete them all
        -- it's easy enough to recreate them after the fact if necessary.

        Any objections?

    Are you certain this doesn't have any security implications? Say
    for example when someone else creates a deleted project and gets
    rights which belonged to the previous project or when the system
    reuses internal id's.


All rights are managed by keystone and keystone uses LDAP for role and project membership. When Andrew deletes the project, he'll be deleting the entire project tree from LDAP. It's possible that some service specific resources could be held over (like quotas), but hopefully there's an easy way to clean those references up in those specific services.

Yep! Also, in addition to cleaning projects out of LDAP I'm planning to delete the gluster shared storage for these projects. Given that the projects are empty, gluster is really the only place that anything of value could reside.

I won't be doing gluster first, though, so will probably send yet another warning message before I clobber all that.


We've always had the ability to delete projects, but I've avoided doing so because it's a relatively involved process.

Ryan, in case I'm missing anything: other than gluster, are there other specific project bits that you know the 'manage projects' delete link fails to clean up?
