How to Delete an Item

When you no longer need to see an item in a project, for example, a blog post a few months after it's been published, you can move the item to the trash. This removes it from the hierarchy of your project, and it removes the people & due dates assigned to an item. The template will be kept. There are two ways you can delete an item.
