Cleaning up Issue schemas and workflows

[gstoesz]

What is the recommended method for cleaning up old Issue Schemas and workflows that are only associated with Archived projects?

- Can I remove the archived projects from all Schemas and workflows without out impacting the information in those projects?

- Do I just delete them?

- Is there a way to "deactivate" the schemas so they are no longer visible as an option to our users but still leave associated to the archived projects?

Projects have to have schemes to define how the work, so no, you can't remove schemes until they are associated with no projects.

Thank you Nic. I should have clarified that question. Is the only way for me to cleanup old schema's and workflows that are associated with Archived projects to, remove them from the associated archived project, then delete them?

It sounds like from your response above, yes?

You will need to associate other schemes with your projects, then you'll be able to delete the old ones.

Is there a way to change the schemes on projects that are already archived? 

I can't find a way which means we are stuck with old versions of workflows floating around :(
