Welcome to the Forum @Whitney_Chong and thank you for reaching out!
Please have a look at my colleague’s post: Creating a project from a template is generating duplicate tasks - #2 by Vanessa_N You might find it useful.
There is a popular thread in the #productfeedback category regarding this topic. I would also suggest to upvote it. In the meantime, I would recommend moving these tasks to the “Later” section of your My Tasks (you can use the “Tab + L” shortcut).
I hope this helps but please let me know if you have any follow-up question! Have a great Friday!
