As far as I understand, archiving a project will count towards my active project count but NOT my storage limit – which basically makes sense. However if I decide to get rid of the files in my oldest projects is there a way to batch delete files or do I seriously have to delete them one by one?

Thanks Markus

Marcus, I think it’s the other way around: archived projects don’t count towards your active project count, but they do use storage. And yes, you’ll have to delete those files one by one.

Does deleting the project delete the files or does it strand them in a limbo status where you can’t delete them AND they count against your status quota?

Deletes the files.

Bummer!
Deleting files one by one is so not an option, it will very likely make us leave basecamp – as much as we love it. I will give posting a feature request a shot though.
