Deleting a shift task list

Delete a task list if you don’t plan to use it in the future and don’t need to keep information about its past use.

Deleting a task list removes it from all schedules and deletes all associated historical task completion data. If you want to keep a record of completed tasks, consider removing the list from future schedules instead of deleting it.

  1. From the Task Lists page, tap the task list you want to delete.
  2. Tap Delete.
  3. Tap Delete to confirm.
