Permanently Delete Projects & Permanently Deleting Tasks in Bulk

[dcdcdc01]

Hi there, I’m trying to permanently delete a project (manually, not waiting for the 30 day period per Asana’s data retention policy), but I don’t see any way to do that. When I go to the deleted items, the only options when I right-click on the deleted project are Open in a New Tab, Copy Project Link, Rename Project, or Un/Archive Project; and clicking on it directly goes to a page where I can restore the project. Is there a way to manually delete the project sooner than the 30 day policy?

Secondly, is there a way to bulk-permanently-delete tasks? I’ve seen several topics in here about it and can’t find one that indicates this is something we can do. I tried selecting multiple tasks, and I can delete them, but the Permanently Delete option does not come up like when you delete a single task.

Thanks!

Not that I know of; sorry, but you could try asking Support for help: see How to contact our Support Team.

Sorry again; You can vote here:

Bulk permanently delete tasks

Currently is not possible to select multiple deleted tasks and then permanently delete them at once. Are there any plans to add this feature? Thanks

Thanks,

Larry

Thanks, Larry! I’ll do both (though I can’t believe something that a feature people have been wanting and asking for since 2018 still hasn’t happened! Wild!).

I hear you…but see my answer to a different thread, but also an old request so the same answer applies:

Inbox filtering per team and per project

They could, and may; we’ve seen them solve similarly old requests in the past few months. And a number of old requests are now tagged considered or in development so there are more coming. So while I appreciate your frustration, I hope you will not give up all hope!
