Additional Information

It is the application design to not remove all items from the current map when switching projects because this could be an unexpected and undesirable behavior for many users. The project concept should be structured so you can work with multiple projects in the same map. For example, open layers in one projects and add content, such as proposed locations from another project to the same map. It could be very unexpected behavior to automatically remove items from the map. However, we can certainly work to improve the current user experience by offering an option so you could clear the map when switching projects if you would like. For example, we can provide an option to clear or keep the current map items when switching projects. We will introduce this option in as soon as possible in the application.

Workaround

Uncheck the layer in the previous project and switch the project.
