Auto-generated Project GDB: avoid or delete

[Craig_Eissler_Iceman]

Is there any way to avoid ArcGIS Pro from creating a new Geodatabase with a new project?

If not, I also notice I cannot delete from within ArcGIS (Catalog)

Any answers or explanations?

A geodatabase is used for one of the default output locations for geoprocessing tools and I am not sure of a way to just not have one referenced, but you can set this geodatabase to be the same for all projects so you don't get one created each time. You can set this functionality and the location of this geodatabase in the options of Pro.
