Managing inactive projects in your instance

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. See Maintaining your branches for more information on inactive branches and cached data.

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.
