After further digging, I found [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37251561/remove-delete-laravel-project](this thread) and used rm -rf temp01 from the c:\windows\system32 directory. I had to run the command from a command line running as administrator. The first time I ran it, without running as an administrator, I got page after page of file delete attempts that didn't have sufficient permission.

I don't know if this approach will have any negative consequences down the road but if it does, I'll deal with them as they come.

You can just remove the directory with the content to delete the project. Optional you need to delete the database if you have one for the project to clean up the last part.

It is normal that you need to run something as administrator in the c:\windows\system32

On the other hand you also had to be administrator to put the content there.
