[BUG] Cowork Projects: No delete option — archive is a black hole with no recovery

What's Wrong?

In Claude Cowork (Windows desktop app), there is no way to delete a project. The only option available in the three-dot menu is Archive. However, once a project is archived:

• It disappears completely from the UI
• There is no archived projects tab or section to find it
• There is no way to unarchive or delete it afterward

Archive is effectively a black hole — once you use it, the project is gone with zero management options.

What Should Happen?

• A Delete option should be available directly in the three-dot menu alongside Archive
• OR archived projects should be accessible in a dedicated section where they can be permanently deleted

2- Click the three-dot menu on the project
3- Note that Delete is not an option — only Archive
