Deleting Tasks

The Tasks app allows you to delete tasks at any time. Note the following:

• Users can delete their Private tasks but no Team tasks.

• Workflow Administrators can delete all tasks that are shown (Private and Team tasks).

• You can delete a maximum of 100 tasks at a time.

  Note that the multi-deletion feature is only available in List view but not supported in Board view.

• If you select more than 100 tasks or your selection includes tasks that you are not allowed to delete, the Delete context menu option will be disabled.

• There is no undo for the delete operation.
