How to remove a Gitlab project?

git, gitlab

Solution

- Go to the project page

- Select "Settings"

- Select the "General" section (you must be in the repository you want to delete it)

- If you have enough rights, then at the bottom of the page will be a button for "Advanced settings" (i.e. project settings that may result in data loss) or "Remove project" (in newer GitLab versions)

- Push this button and follow the instructions

This is only available for admins/owner. As a mere project maintainer, you do not see the "Remove project" button.

Problem

I have created several repositories in GitLab. One of those was for testing purposes and has some commits and branches. I want to delete or remove this repository. How can I do this?
