If you used something like BAM to install a project you must also use that to remove it. You have just over 134 million credits under your name so they aren't gone unless you had more than that.

Your credits are stored on the server, not on your computer. The only thing lost would be the tasks that were currently in progress on your computer when you detached.

Once you attach your computer to PrimeGrid again, it will show the correct credit. You do, however, need to use the SAME EMAIL ADDRESS as you used originally. Account identification is based on your email address.

You can change your email address without issue.
But if you attach PG with one email, then detach it, and then try to attach it with a different email then it's like attaching a new account.
At the top of the "Your Account" page there is a section for changing your email, password, etc.

Did you select PrimeGrid before trying to click no the remove button? If you have only one project, it's not obvious that you need to select that project prior to clicking on the buttons.

Are you using an account manager such as "BOINCStats BAM!" ? If so, first tell your BOINC client not to use the account manager.

If all else fails, you can uninstall BOINC, delete the BOINC data directory, and then reinstall BOINC.

I cant remove and reattach. the remove button is greyed out.


Did you select PrimeGrid before trying to click no the remove button? If you have only one project, it's not obvious that you need to select that project prior to clicking on the buttons.

Are you using an account manager such as "BOINCStats BAM!" ? If so, first tell your BOINC client not to use the account manager.

If all else fails, you can uninstall BOINC, delete the BOINC data directory, and then reinstall BOINC.


Thanks i got it sorted
