Sharepoint documents losing link with PWA Project task

[David]

I've noticed that if I delete a project that's out in PWA, I lose all the
links of the documents that are in Sharepoint to ALL my project in PWA.

Has anybody else run across this problem??? SOMEONE PLEASE GET BACK TO ME
ON THIS.

FYI - To delete a project that is out on PWA, I open MS Project, pull up the
list of project as if I were going to open one of them, highlight the project
name and hit the delete key. Am I doing something wrong????

To delete a project plan the administrator should go to:

1) PWA > Admin > Clean Up Project Server Database.
2) Select 'Project and To-Do Lists'
3) Click the option 'Delete the SharePoint team Web site for the specified
project ' if you want to delete WSS site & risk/issues/documents related to
that project
4) Select the Project & hit delete button.

Deleting from Open Project window in MS Project doesn't delete To-Do list &
doesn't delete WSS site

David:

Are you complaining about losing "links" as you state? Or, are you
complaining about losing the SharePoint site? If the former is the case,
you're always going to lose the links when you delete the project. If the
latter is your concern, Faisal pointed you in the right direction. To
prevent Project Managers from deleting their own projects, turn off this
permission in the appropriate group and/or category.

Hi Gary,

When I delete a project, using either method described below, I lose ALL the
links to ALL the documents for All the project that are loaded in PWA. Any
ideas??

Gary,

So you mean to tell me that this is a major problem with the system??? You
can't delete a project once you publish it?

David:

You'd need to write a query to preserve them and then re-establish them.

David:

You can preserve the site, but not the links using the standard tools
available through the interface.
