If I want to clean up and do a fresh start to elements, how do i delete the projects in my dashboard
If you click the small circular icon next to the project’s path shown on the dashboard, Elements will open a Finder window of the folder containing that project (projects have a .elements extension). You can then “move to bin” the unwanted project(s) in the usual way.
The project will disappear from the list on the next restart of Elements or if the dashboard is reopened.
