Where is the problem occurring?

I encountered the problem while using the application (Frontend)

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome

Current behaviour

Hi there! I had been using a personal instance of Planka for a while then cloned it to use an instance at work with some colleagues. I cloned it because some boards had a lot of items and would have taken a lot of time to recreate. So I restored a backup from the personal instance to the work instance, then proceeded to delete my personal projects I want removed from the clone, since I only want work items in there.

To my great surprise, while the projects deleted have been gone from the UI, they are still present in the database as I can see from a dump I took after deleting the unwanted projects.

How can I completely remove a project from the database?

Desired behaviour

Deleting a project should actually delete it.

Steps to reproduce

Delete a project from the UI, see that the data is still in the database.

Hi! Thanks for reporting this. The current Planka version has data deletion issues, but we’ve already resolved them in v2.

Hi @meltyshev ! I had just read about it, thanks. For the time being I have done some manual cleanup so all good. Can't wait for v2! Thanks for this awesome project!
