Deleting projects- also delete assigned tasks only in this project

Suggestion to have deleting projects delete both unassigned and assigned tasks unique to the project.

Hey @Rocky_5, here is a great post about the best practices when deleting a project that might be helpful.

If you also wish to delete assigned tasks you can for example use the multi-select in list view to unassign them first.

I second this one (and I know others would as I have seen other forum posts about it). It seems odd to have tasks still assigned when a project is deleted. It is way too manual of an ask for us to go and remove assignees before deleting a project.

Hi there, how do I delete all tasks tied to a deleted project? I was the project Owner, and I need to clean up the floating tasks.

Hi @Melissa_Bednarz , if you recently deleted the project, you should have received an email with a link to restore it within 30 days.

I would restore the project in order to unassign or delete all tasks properly, before deleting the project again.

Thank you, Richard. I found the link and was able to restore the project.
