### Remove project

Removes a project including all associated resources (issues, merge requests etc.)

```
DELETE /projects/:id
```

Parameters:

| Attribute | Type | Required | Description |
| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) |

## Uploads

### Upload a file

| `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) |
| `file` | string | yes | The file to be uploaded |

To upload a file from your filesystem, use the `--form` argument. This causes

by `@`. For example:

```bash
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: 9koXpg98eAheJpvBs5tK" --form "file=@dk.png" https://gitlab.example.com/api/v3/projects/5/uploads
```

Returned object:

  "markdown": "![dk](/uploads/66dbcd21ec5d24ed6ea225176098d52b/dk.png)"
}
```

**Note**: The returned `url` is relative to the project path.
In Markdown contexts, the link is automatically expanded when the format in
`markdown` is used.
