(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

You need to edit the SQLIte database that you are using, try a tool like https://sqlitebrowser.org/ and check the USESSIONS table for corrupted data or open sessions
But P6 won't let you rename a project to an existing one, in this case, the one that you wish to delete.
Patrick has an excellent point see if it is in check out mode
another trick is to copy some xer file and rename it to to the file that you want to delete and then check in that xer file. Then you can delete it
I'm not sure if this still work as I use SQL lite, but you used to be able to resolve this by making sure the project was "Checked-in" and active. When the project is in shared mode, the project would get "checked-out" and would remove your ability to delete the project. Make sure the project is checked-in under the project settings as shown below.
I cannot delete old projects. P6 gives me the message that the project is in "shared mode" and there are "other users". I am using a stand-alone version and obviously the only user so this doesn't make sense. Also, when opening projects I do not have the option of opening exclusively. I have created a new database but this does not help. I have read the previous posts and replies but these do not help. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
