How to delete/archive Defect

Hello,
We are running RQM 2.0.0.1 iFix005 and RQM 2.0.1 iFix003.
We created Defect in RQM (we don't use the bridge or the synchronizer in that case).
We have to delete or archive some Defects. I don't see any options for that.
Is this option exist?
Do I miss something?
Thank you in advance

Rational Quality Manager (RQM) defect records are based on Rational Team Concert (RTC) work items. In RTC work items, the concept of "deleting" or "archiving" a work item does not exist. You can change states (for example: to close something as "resolved", "no plan to fix", "invalid/duplicate", etc), but after a work item is created it can never be deleted. This is by design and is for audit purposes.

Thank you Patrick for this answer.
It becomes more clear now.

You could add new state "OBSOLETE" to your defect workflow and change unwanted defects to this state.

Disadvantage 1: you need to modify any workitem query to ignore "OBSOLETE" defects
Disadvantage 1: out of the box reports will consider them anyway.

When I create a project in RQM where does the project gets saved?
