_ **Note: Not a solution but marked as such to elevate a key reply** _ Welcome, @anon54407227, Can you explain the underlying reason why you want to “archive” tasks in the first place? I ask because I have wide visibility into Asana usage in many organizations over many years, and this need is very uncommon (but perhaps you have some unique requirement?). For example, if you were to say that your need is that these tasks are cluttering the existing projects, then I’d suggest that, if they’re completed tasks, that you generally have your projects employ the filter to hide incomplete tasks as your default for these projects. Or if not, then consider other approaches for incomplete tasks that will never be done, like: > [@Completed Tasks that Aren't Exactly Completed](https://forum.asana.com/t/completed-tasks-that-arent-exactly-completed/154151): > > When you “Mark Complete” heavy_check_mark a task it usually signifies that you carried it out. What if you didn’t actually carry it out, but you still want to get it out of your hair–no longer have it appear as Incomplete (active)? A simple approach that works even with Asana’s free version is to go ahead and mark it complete but also add a tag, perhaps one of #NotDone, #NotNeeded, #Canceled. Since you might want to later locate these, Tag View (click the tag) would allow you to see a list of… or perhaps having a collapsed section for such tasks. Hope that helps, Larry --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.asana.com/t/is-there-a-way-to-archive-projects-and-tasks-that-do-not-belong-to-me/500760)._
