Removing a standard project

If you created an Angular project using the command ng new <project_name>, you can remove it using the following steps:

1. Open the terminal or command prompt and navigate to the parent directory where the Angular workspace is located.
2. The ng new <project_name> command created a folder named <project_name> in the workspace directory. To remove this project, simply delete this folder.

Linux

rm -rf <project_name>

Windows

rmdir /s /q <project_name>

Replace <project_name> with the name of your project.

Removing a multiple applications project

To remove an Angular project created with the ng g application <project_name> command, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the terminal or command prompt and navigate to the parent directory where the Angular workspace is located.
2. The ng g application <project_name> command created a folder named <project_name> in the projects folder in the workspace directory. To remove this project, simply delete this folder.
3. Remove references to the deleted project.

Deleting project folder

Linux

rm -rf <project_name>

Windows

rmdir /s /q <project_name>

Replace <project_name> with the name of your project.

Removing references to the deleted project

If you want to remove any references to the deleted project from your Angular CLI configuration, you can manually delete them from the angular.json file located in your workspace root. Look for the projects section in the angular.json file and remove the configuration related to the deleted project.
