The idea behind archiving is that you usually don't want to delete a project right away - you probably know that situation, no work has been done for a customer in quite a while, you "close" the project but then there is a follow-up. That's the main reason why we opted for archiving as a first step instead of deleting projects directly. If you archive a project it will be hidden from all views with one exception:  
After archiving a project you can display it still in the overview using the filter toggles:

If you show archived projects you will see all archived projects in the overview and get additional buttons to restore and completely delete a project:
