I imported a project from a customer's gateway into a local gateway on my laptop. I wanted to compare some of the templates in that to another project. I get an error that I do not have permissions to open the project. I also get an error when I try to delete the project that the gateway failed to delete it. How can I get rid of this project from my gateway?
