= Overview =

If you own a project in Launchpad and either no longer need it or don't have time to run it, you could consider:

 * finding someone else who wants to run it and handing control to them
 * leaving the project in Launchpad as a historical record.

However, if the project has remained inactive and you're certain that you no longer want it in Launchpad, please [[https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+addquestion|file a project closure request in Launchpad Answers]].

'''Note:''' if there is a significant amount of work associated with a project, particular from people other than yourself, we may ask you to consider options other than closing the project.
