Hi Guys, The gateway console is filled up errors related to previously deleted project. It particularly giving two errors. one says Project ‘xxxxx’ dosen’t exists while another says login message must contain three arguments. But the project was deleted long back. Please find the image and log file related to that. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/9/9c6ffb4f4a8ccea3f360d4dbada2dd8bb9504576.JPG) Please let us know how to resolve this issue.

Just had exact same issue. A project had gotten deleted, but there was still an active client trying to run it. Well, trying to reconnect, actually. ---

So, How can we stop this error log now. ---

If a client is trying to reconnect to it, you need to find that client and kill it. ---

Is there a way to find IP Address of the machine where this client is running. ---

On your gateway, go to Status \> Sessions ---

Another way to track down a client that is trying to access a delete project is to use netstat -n to view all of the active connections to gateways port (default:8088). Then compare the IP’s in the list to what active sessions you have listed in the gateway status page. The reason you will want to do this is because you might not be able see the offending client in the active sessions. Since it isn’t able to establish an active connection to the gateway because it is failing to connect due to Project no longer existing. This will at least give you a list of IP addresses to check to make sure that it doesn’t have a client sitting there trying to connect to the missing project.
