Hi,

I want to delete the default section in Asana, but i cant cause the delete option is not accessible. I ve searched for changing the default section (so i can delete the old one), but i was not able to find where the parameter is.  
Could someone help me (well its just annoying cause for all the new tasks i have to change the default section value).  
Many thks.

> Hi @Joe6wave As @Andrea_Mayer wrote: I was able to delete the last section once I moved the tasks out of the section. If the section contains tasks and you try to delete it, then you have the option to either delete the tasks as well or move them to another section. So,try creating a new section before deleting it. Also, I don’t think you can have a ‘no sections’ empty project. There should be at least one section. Please, anyone… feel free to correct me if I’m wrong! sweat_smile
