How to remove progress from a Primavera P6 Schedule:
The following instruction shows how to deprogress a schedule and reuse the schedule for other same projects:

Step 02:
On the calculations tab of the project Window, select “Link Budget and At Completion for not started activities”, also select the option “Reset Remaining Duration and Units to Original”.

On the Dates tab of the project, change the project planned start date to the new project planned start date.
Step 04:

Step 05:
Now we are ready to de-progress the schedule. Using the “Fill Down” tool to set all activities’ actual units to Zero (labor units, non-labor units)
Step 06:
If the project uses resource materials, use Global Change to set actual Material Units to Zero.
Step 07:
On the “Activity Status” column, use the “Fill Down” tool to set “Activity Status” to “Not Started”
Step 08:
To reset the actual cost to Zero, use global change for “Activity Resource Assignments” and set “Actual Regular Cost” and “Actual Overtime Cost” to Zero.
