# Inactive projects Projects that are not analyzed for seven consecutive days are considered inactive, and SonarQube Server automatically deletes their cached data to free space in the database. The **Projects Management** search interface includes a date picker to help you find all projects last analyzed before your specified date. From there you can deal with them on this page as a set, or click through to the individual project homepages for individual attention and administration. In **Administration** > **Projects** > **Management** search for **Last analysis before** to filter projects not analyzed since a specific date. Then use bulk **Delete** to remove the projects that match your filter. This can be automated by using the corresponding Web API: `api/projects/bulk_delete?analyzedBefore=YYYY-MM-DD`. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-community-build/instance-administration/inactive-projects.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
