How do I delete projects?

Ned,

There is not a good UI for this at the mement. The current code errs on the side of safety trying to ensure we don't inadvertantly have a project garbage collected. The first thing I would try is

	Project rebuildAllProjects.

at some point that there are no inspectors, explorers or the like open and referring to projects. This may be sufficient, but if not, then you might do

	Project forget: aParticularProject.

where <aParticularProject> is a project you suspect might be the root holding the rest in memory. Then go back to the first example.

Let me know how this works.

Cheers,
Bob
