ah yeah delete product is definitely something that should be added. +1 vote on this F/R.
+1, would be nice to delete test stuff
+1 for delete
Just wanted to add my vote. If delete is impossible, how about an Archive option to at least remove it from the main dashboard and let it sit in a second-screen hell?
Has this made any movement? Soft deleting a product (as the owner) with no devices in it should not be a hassle to code.
It may sound a simple solution when you can make that assumption, but Particle has to consider all edge cases - e.g. it is possible that you have delivered devices for your product to a bunch of redistributors but all the devices are still sitting on their shelves and none of the devices was yet acitvated, so it might look like there are no devices for this product yet.
See the issue?
This is only one of the edge cases that have to be dealt with gracefully.

I get that, the idea to archive or even toggle active and non active products would be helpful. Before there were groups there I wound up with several products to represent the different groups. Now that everything has been simplified I only have 3 or 4 active products and way too many dead âproducts.â The list likes to rearrange itself and I have to search for the product every time, which can be annoying at times.

We are now approaching the third anniversary of this being an open issue.
I would think that Particle would want to close it. @ScruffR you make a fine point about the edge cases, but I would suggest that this issue has not been deemed to be âimportantâ by the team at Particle. This is solvable, there are myriad precedents in the technology platforms we all use, and that it actually is a glaring deficiency in the User Experience.

+1 to archive and rename products.
I understand delete may be an issue, but setting a particular flag on a project would be for the ownerâs benefit ONLY and should not be so hard: itâs a column in a DB and a relatively minor interface change. And it wonât make any difference to consumers of such product.
Or just make a delete button that will trigger a popup saying âI swear to god no consumer uses this crappy product or ever has, please let me have my spring cleaning in peaceâ⌠then confirming this would show another pop-up saying âyouâll go to Hell if you lie, are you certain?â, or something like that⌠And if someone deletes a project and regrets it, well⌠too bad.
At least allow us to rename a product. Then we can re-use an old one with no device
