Hello, I am trying to go through the Pulumi getting started, and I feel unbelievably dumb - I had an issue creating the "quickstart" project, so I want to start over, but now it says:
Copy code
Sorry, 'quickstart' is not a valid project name. A project with this name already exists.
and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to completely delete the local cli project. I even deleted the cache named quickstart in ~/.pulumi folder. Anyone?
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
b
you're using the local backends? ie you logged your state using 
pulumi login --local
w
I think? I mean, literally I am 10 minutes in to "Create a New Projects"
Copy code
mkdir quickstart && 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
b
can you show the output of 
pulumi about
w
Copy code
$ pulumi about

Pulumi locates its logs in /tmp by default

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
w
OH! I was on my team page in 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
How do I delete it from there?
b
you'll need to delete all the stacks, can you show me a screenshot of the quickstart projecty?
w
literally nothing there
b
okay, click on 
dev
and then on the top right, you'll see "settings"
and there should be a delete button there
w
No delete button
b
you need to click "settings" next to resources
w
Delete Stack under Settings?
b
yep
w
Got it!
Boy do I feel dumb
🤣
b
no reason to feel that way! it's easy if you know the answer 😄
you just learned a little about how the console, stacks and projects relate to each other too!
w
Everyone on the internet can rejoice knowing that someone actually managed to fail at step one
Thanks jaxxstorm
