Delete projects with no process

This script demonstrates how to programmatically delete projects with no deployment process in Octopus Deploy.

Usage

  • Octopus URL
  • Octopus API Key
  • Name of the space to use

This script will delete projects with no deployment process. This operation is destructive and cannot be undone. Ensure you have a database backup and take care when running this script or one based on it
