You have 2 ways to delete a project:

If you are an admin of the project, you can delete it from its configuration actions

=> See "Deleting a project" in the "Project Administration" documentation page
If you are a SonarQube administrator, then you can also delete a project from the "Project Management" page

=> See "Project Management/Project Existence" documentation page

Updated for Sonar 2.11:

Select the project (from the home page)
Then click on the Project Deletion link on the bottom of the left panel
Finally, confirm using the Delete Project button

In Sonar 3.6, the deletion button is in the project page, under the search input, inside the menu Configuration (you must be logged as administrator):

Please note that this does not work in all browsers. On OS X, for example, it works with Firefox but not Chrome or Safari. This is an old bug from Sonar 3.x and is still present in 4.2. – RCross Apr 08 '14 at 09:44

Login with administrator account. Select the project name. There you can see "project deletion" under configuration menu.

Login with an administrator account, then browse to the settings page of your project to get the button "delete project".

for some reason, this button is absent. do you have an idea why? – rperez Sep 07 '10 at 15:15
Perhaps there is a sonar bug I am using sonar version 2.4.1 and I also have no idea how to delete the a project. No delete on the settings page of the project. Can you send a screen shot maybe we don't have ours set up correctly – Shawn Vader Dec 06 '10 at 15:56
Oops I am sorry I have just found it, I am sure it didn't show up the first time thou – Shawn Vader Dec 06 '10 at 15:57

In some situations that you want to make it programatically you can use the SonarQube's Rest Web API to do so. According to SonarQube documentation:

POST api/projects/bulk_delete

Which can be used by passing the project's ID in the "keys" parameter. I'm no pro in Curl but it should be something like this (code generated in the Postman client) for project with key "daBestProjectKey":

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" -H "Postman-Token: 10a0e9a1-8dae-a9d1-45f2-0d8e56de999d" -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW" -F "keys=daBestProjectKey" "http://localhost:9000/api/projects/bulk_delete"

[Home] button in top left corner >> [Projects] tab in top left corner >> (under name, click on the name of your project) >> [Project Deletion] (on the left panel/dashboard at the bottom) >> [Delete project] (in the center of the page, kind of).

This information is for SonarQube version 5.0 which is latest for now - Released on 17th January 2015

You can delete the project from Project Configuration which is present on right hand side of Project Dashboard.The same screenshot is attached below.

enter image description here

if you are an Administrator of SonarQube, the you have the authority to delete multiple projects.

Just go to settings and you see a tab on your left as "bulk deletion". Please find the attached screenshot for the same.
