# Deletes a task.

> A soft delete: the task stops appearing anywhere and stops being a target for
automation, but its history survives and it can be recovered in the app.
            
Blocking relationships are cleared in both directions, so no other task is left pointing
at it, and any automation timer waiting on it is dropped.
