Deleting a task permanently removes it from the project. This action requires confirmation and cannot be undone.
Steps
- Go to the Tasks List tab on the project page, or open Tasks from the sidebar
- Click Task Actions (...) on the task card or list row
- Select Delete
- A confirmation dialog appears showing a summary of the task—review the details to confirm you are deleting the right task:
- Assigned to (name and email)
- Task type
- Due date (the deadline date, or No Limit if none was set)
- Task status (the current status—Pending, In Progress, or Expired)
- Type confirm in the text field
- Click Delete
Note: The task will be permanently removed and cannot be recovered.
When to delete vs complete a task
| Situation | Recommended action |
| Work is finished | Mark as Complete—keeps a record and sets status to Completed |
| Task was created by mistake | Delete |
| Task is no longer needed | Delete |
| Task is Expired but work is done | Mark as Complete—status changes from Expired to Completed |
| Task needs to be reassigned or rescheduled | Edit the task instead |
Tip: If there is any chance you will need a record of the task later, mark it complete instead of deleting it. Completed tasks remain visible and filterable by status; deleted tasks cannot be recovered.
