How to delete a task

Tasks that no longer serve a purpose can be deleted individually or in bulk from your dashboard.

TL;DR

Open a task and select Delete task from the ... menu, or use multiselect to delete several tasks at once.

Who can do this

  • Any team member with access to the dashboard

  • You must have permission to modify or delete tasks in your company account

Deleted tasks cannot be recovered. Make sure the task is truly no longer needed before deleting it.

How to delete a single task

  1. Click on the task you want to delete to open it.

  2. Click the ... (more options) button.

  3. Select Delete task.

  4. Confirm the deletion when Uku asks you to verify. The task will be removed from your dashboard.

  3. Click the : (kebab menu) button and select Delete task.

Troubleshooting

  • I do not see the Delete task option: You may not have the required permissions. Ask your company account administrator to check your role and access level.

  • I accidentally deleted a task: Deleted tasks cannot be restored. You will need to recreate the task manually.

  • Multiselect mode is not appearing: Make sure you are on the dashboard view. Try using the keyboard shortcut (Command on Mac or Control on Windows) to activate multiselect.

  • The delete confirmation dialog does not appear: Try refreshing the page and repeating the steps. If the issue persists, contact Uku support.
