Hi @Martina!

Sincere apologies for the inconvenience here. As @Bastien_Siebman has explained, this is the current behaviour when deleting a Section (it will delete all tasks nested in it including the multi-homed ones). I’ve slightly modified the title of this thread so it better reflects your request and is more discoverable for other users to upvote. I hope it’s Ok.

We also have two existing threads regarding Sections. I’m listing them below in case you want to upvote them:

> [@Mark Sections as Complete (in new spreadsheet List view)](https://forum.asana.com/t/mark-sections-as-complete-in-new-spreadsheet-list-view/62757):
>
> NEED: The ability to mark a section as complete so it no longer appears within a project when filtering for incomplete tasks. AND to be able to do that without deleting the history of tasks within that section. SUGGESTION: Add an option to sections and boards to either a) complete the section as you would a task, or b) archive the section as you would a project. \*Please do not conflate this issue with the need to be able to delete a section. These are two related but fundamentally different is…

> [@Archive a Section in a Project](https://forum.asana.com/t/archive-a-section-in-a-project/4047):
>
> When you mark a Section task complete currently, the tasks that were below it lose their reference to the section (whether they are marked Complete or not). It would be ideal to be able to remove completed Sections from view in a Project, without losing the link between the Section and the Tasks that were in it.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with Martina! Have a nice week!
