Deleting a Task

About this task

You can delete a running task (also known as a task instance) on the Task List Management page.

Important: When you delete a task, the running task is removed from all task inboxes and is no longer in the system. A deleted task cannot be restored. Exercise caution when deleting Active tasks; for more information, see Process Implications When Deleting a Task.

This action does not delete the task type from My webMethods. To accomplish this, see Deleting a Task Type from My webMethods Server. Tasks can also be deleted with the scheduled global Delete Task Rule. For more information, see Managing Global Rules.
