I'm using BAM 7.6.22 (64 bit) for my account manager. I want to delete one of the projects since it's not running any WUs, and when I asked for help on the forum, I was accused of trying to deceive everyone in some manner.

I don't need to be treated in this way, especially when I politely asked for help.
The project apparently doesn't need me to support it.

I tried deleting it by highlighting it on the "Projects" page, and selecting "Remove", but it still doesn't go away.

Thank you.

On the "My projects" page, make sure the project in question has the "Attach new hosts by default?" box unchecked, and then click the "Detach all hosts now" button. The project will be removed the next time your host synchronizes with BAM.

Thanks, I've gotten that far.

I still haven't been able to remove it from the BOINC Manager Project list. I verified with the remote site that I'm not in the project any longer.

Perhaps it will update itself the next time it connects.

Thanks again.

If you join a project using BAM, then you need to leave/exit the project via BAM.

In the BOINC manager, did you synchronize with BAM? If you select the project on the Project List, is the "Remove" button greyed out? If not, it was attached manually and not through BAM.
