# How to delete on task modal?

The ability to delete a task is vital for keeping a project uncluttered and focused.

In the dynamic landscape of project management, not all Tasks remain relevant or necessary. Whether due to a shift in direction, the completion of a Phase, or a reevaluation of priorities, being able to delete a Task helps maintain a focused and clutter-free project environment.

1.  To delete a task, click the **three-dot icon** in the top-right corner of the modal, then select **Delete**.

2.  A confirmation prompt will appear. If the deletion is intended, click **Permanently Delete** to proceed. The modal will close, and the Task will be removed from the Task list.
    
    > **Error:** Deleted Task cannot be restored.
