# Delete a task

To delete a task, use the Delete action from the [list](/2.15.0/blurit-on-premise/usage/manager-webapp/tasks.md#list-view) or [cards view](/2.15.0/blurit-on-premise/usage/manager-webapp/tasks.md#cards-view). 

A confirmation dialog opens and shows the task file name.

What happens next depends on the task type and status:

* For most tasks (pictures and videos), deletion is permanent: the task and its related original and anonymized files are removed.
* For a ZIP task that is not yet completed or failed, or for a Directory task, the task is removed from the interface, but some files may still remain in your output directory and may need to be deleted manually.

Once confirmed, the task disappears from the list and a confirmation message is displayed
