What’s Noteworthy?

Note Deleting a task also removes attachments associated with the task, thus freeing space on the license.

Note If you want to remove a task from a task board, but plan to work on it sometime in the future, you probably want to move the task to the Backlog area instead of deleting it. See Moving Tasks.
