Hi,  
I would like to archive the projects I have created in order to save space on my hard-drive.  
I have used export project. But I think this will only make a backup of the project, the ortho and zones etc., but not the original images, right?

1. Is it important how the original drone images are archived?
2. Can I remove the project from Pix4Fields after it has been exported? and how?

Hi,

You are following the correct procedure.  
1- The original images are not important for PIX4Dfields projects, is up to you if you want to save them or not.  
2- You can remove the projects after having exported them successfully.  
Click in the settings icon,

After click in the crash icon at the bottom of the menu
