Everywhere in the internet it shows how to delete and lists _stacks_ not _projects_ -- as a brand new user to pulumi but long-time developer, I find it strange that there is no `pulumi project ls` and `pulumi project rm` or something like that

you're using the local backends? ie you logged your state using `pulumi login --local`

I think? I mean, literally I am 10 minutes in to "Create a New Projects"
```mkdir quickstart &amp;&amp; cd quickstart
pulumi new aws-python```


the first time I ran `pulumi new aws-python` it errored because I was missing `python3-venv` so I deleted the quickstart folder, installed the missing dependency, and try again. I haven't logged in, I just installed pulumi 15 minutes ago

can you show the output of `pulumi about`

```$ pulumi about

Pulumi locates its logs in /tmp by default
warning: Failed to get information about the plugin: no Pulumi.yaml project file found (searching upwards from /home/geoff/Pulumi/quickstart). If you have not created a project yet, use `pulumi new` to do so
warning: Failed to read project: no Pulumi.yaml project file found (searching upwards from /home/geoff/Pulumi/quickstart). If you have not created a project yet, use `pulumi new` to do so
warning: Failed to get information about the current stack: no Pulumi.yaml project file found (searching upwards from /home/geoff/Pulumi/quickstart). If you have not created a project yet, use `pulumi new` to do so```

okay, you're storing your state in the pulumi console, you'll need to delete the quicstart project from there:
<https://app.pulumi.com/gdhoffman>

login to that, and you'll see a bunch of projects, delete it from there and you'll be able to create a project called quickstart

OH! I was on my team page in <http://app.pulumi.com|app.pulumi.com> and did not even realize the command creted something on the cloud, I had to switch to my personal page to see it

you'll need to delete all the stacks, can you show me a screenshot of the quickstart projecty?

and then on the top right, you'll see "settings"

and there should be a delete button there

you need to click "settings" next to resources

no reason to feel that way! it's easy if you know the answer :smile:

you just learned a little about how the console, stacks and projects relate to each other too!

Everyone on the internet can rejoice knowing that someone actually managed to fail at step one
