# Deleting Tasks

Source: https://docs.astalty.com.au/guide/tasks/deleting-tasks

> Permanently delete a Task and understand what happens to its Notes, Charges, and Documents.

Delete a Task when it should no longer exist. This action cannot be undone.

> **Task Deletion Cannot Be Undone**
>
> The Task's Notes and Charges are deleted, and its Documents are removed from the Task. Files also attached to another record remain available there.

## Who Can Delete a Task

- You can delete tasks you own. Admins and Managers can also delete tasks owned by other users.
- A task with any invoiced charge can't be deleted, and **Delete Task** doesn't appear for it.
- A task with a charge in an invoice batch that is processing or finalised can't be deleted. If a charge is in a draft invoice batch, deleting the task removes the charge from the batch and the batch total updates.

## Locate the Task

Open the Task from the [Task Board](https://app.astalty.com.au/tasks/task-board) or the Participant's **Tasks** page. To find another week on the Task Board, see [Changing the Date](https://docs.astalty.com.au/guide/tasks/customising-your-task-board-view#changing-the-date).
