Well, I did.  :-)

The problem I had was what to delete. Deleting the webprj file is an
obvious thing to delete but could there be other files that should be
deleted? Perhaps a config file somewhere left with now invalid entries?
Having a "Delete Current Project" button would give me a "warm fuzzy"
that the file was deleted correctly.
