Hi @wensdong, you can use task purge to permanently remove a task. Note that task must be deleted first.

Hi, i added a task, added 3 annotations, then denotated 1, eventually deleted the task, then purged the task, but I see the annotation details are still in the data files. How do I completely get rid of this data ? I assumed that purge will actually delete and remove all the associated data?
