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.
I shut down my computer and still the same. I cannot delete this project.
hi,
Shut down and reboot your computer. It will be ok.
Best Regards.
