Delete Subprojects or Subproject Tasks from Master Projects

When you remove a subproject relationship from a master project, you do not delete the subproject. Instead, you delete the link between the projects. You can view a list of existing subprojects and subproject tasks that are associated to the master project in the dialog box.

Use the Subprojects dialog box to delete subprojects or subproject tasks from master projects. This dialog box lists the names of the subprojects (proxy tasks) or subproject task in the Subprojects list. When you select a task in the Subprojects list, the corresponding subproject name displays in the Project field and the task name in the Task field.

To delete a subproject or subproject task from a master project

1. Select Subprojects from the External group in the Project ribbon.

   The Subprojects dialog box opens.

2. Do one of the following:
   • To delete a subproject task, expand the summary level tasks to see and select the subproject task you want to delete from the Tasks list.
   • To delete the entire subproject, select the subproject (proxy task) you want to delete from the Subprojects list.
3. Click Delete.

   The subproject or subproject task is removed from the master project and no longer displays in the Subprojects list.

4. Click OK.

   The Subprojects dialog box closes.
