Project settings, keys, secrets and deleting a project

What the Project Settings page shows, how to rename a project, where API keys and secrets live and how to delete a project safely.

Updated Nov 12, 2026

Open a project and choose Project Settings in the sidebar (or the gear next to the project selector). The page header shows Project Active while the project is running.

Project Identity & Details

  • Project Name: the display name. Change it and choose Save Name.
  • Immutable Project ID: the permanent ID (it begins prj_). Use Copy when you need it in an SDK or a support request. It never changes.
  • Project URL Slug: the short ID used in addresses. It is fixed once created.
  • Organization: which organization owns the project.
  • Region: where the project lives. It was chosen automatically when the project was created.

Project API Keys

This section lists the project's keys and has a + Generate Key button. See API keys for the full guide.

Environment Secrets & Variables

Encrypted values injected into your functions and containers. They are shown as masked values (the page shows the names). Secrets can be added from your functions or the command line, and you can also manage them from Secrets & Env in the sidebar.

GitHub Connections

Connect a GitHub account once here and pick repositories from it when you deploy containers. Disconnect removes the account from the list for new containers; containers already linked keep auto-deploying. This section is only relevant if you deploy containers from GitHub.

Danger Zone: Delete Project

Deleting a project permanently removes the project and its database. It is irreversible.

A project can only be deleted when it is empty. The page lists what is still there and blocks deletion until you remove it:

  • database tables,
  • cloud functions,
  • stored files in storage,
  • container apps,
  • actions.

Once nothing is left, the page says it is safe to remove. Then:

  1. Choose Delete Project....
  2. Type the project's slug exactly. Copy and paste are disabled on purpose.
  3. Choose I understand the consequences, delete project.

Good to know

  • Before deleting, download an export of anything you need. See Restore, download and import backups.
  • Deleting a project does not remove other projects or your organization.
  • Renaming a project changes only its display name. Your database name, slug and connection strings stay the same.
  • What you can change depends on your role. See Invite teammates and choose roles.
