Message 14403 - Posted: 18 Dec 2007, 7:40:07 UTC

When I installed BOINC, I joined several projects using BOINCStats BAM. One of these turned out not to support Mac OS, and I'd like to completely remove the project from my machine.

I deleted the project in BAM, but it's still listed on the projects and stats tabs within BOINC, and there doesn't seem to be any "delete" menu item (there is a "detach" button which sounds like it might have been what I'm looking for, but it's permanently disabled).

Is there any way (short of trashing BOINC itself) to remove all references to the project?

Cheers,
Mark.

Projects tab, click on the project's name, the detach button will light up. Click the detach button, confirm.

By the way, you either attach to a project through BOINC itself, or through BAM!, but not through both at the same time.

That's what I thought, but as I said:

... including when when I have clicked on a project.

All the projects were attached through BAM, and all were deleted through BAM.

Problem Solved!

I had deleted the projects through BAM, but I hadn't detached them first. So, I added them back in through BAM, synchronised, detached through BAMs resources screen, synchronised, and deleted them through BAMs project list screen.

Sorted.

Cheers,
Mark.
