Deleting a Task by ID

You can delete tasks by ID, for example if you have submitted confidential data by mistake.

Procedure

1. Connect to your {ProjectServer} using SSH:

   # ssh root@{foreman-example-com}

2. Optional: View the task:

   # hammer task info --id My_Task_ID

3. Delete the task:

   # foreman-rake foreman_tasks:cleanup TASK_SEARCH="id=My_Task_ID"

4. Optional: Ensure the task has been removed from {ProjectServer}:

   # hammer task info --id My_Task_ID

   Note that because the task is deleted, this command returns a non-zero exit code.
