This is a confusing assertion. Does it mean you confirmed that one
can't force deletions in the client system, or that you have experience
in which you proved that you can? If the latter, how?

One option is to leave it where it is, and change permissions such that
everybody but a select few cannot access that project. I am very wary
about copies because of the effect it has on filtering dumps. Another
benefit is that you don't have to worry about your next issue:

I presume you also have a folder per project in Branches and Tags so you
can keep track of them. Still, all you need to do is specify the
workspace location manually for those archived projects if the default
behavior isn't desired.
