Delete a Plan in New Teams Planner

I am using New Teams.

I want to delete a plan I created but can't work out how.

All online advice refers to 3 dots or "settings" that don't exist, and perhaps are referencing Classic Teams.

The plan is listed under Shared Plans.

The App is called Tasks by Planner and To Do (By Microsoft)

Thanks

For those who are still having this issue, at this current point in time you still can't delete a plan directly through teams, but you can do it through the Planner web app in the browser. I was able to do so by following these steps:

  1. Go to the Teams channel where the plan is located.
  2. Click on the dropdown of the "Tasks" tab at the top of the channel (or whatever plan you are trying to delete).
  3. Click "Open in browser" to open the plan in your browser.
  4. Click the 3 dots at the upper middle of the screen, next to Grid, Board, Charts, Schedule, Timeline.
  5. Click "Plan Settings".
  6. At the bottom of the side pane, click "Delete this plan".
  7. Check "I understand that this plan and all of its tasks will be permanently deleted", then click "Delete".

Good luck with it,

Grant

Just a note, it won't necessarily be called "Tasks" - the tab name will be whatever you called the plan. Also, you should be able to delete the plan through the Tasks web app (https://tasks.office.com/), if you created the plan through the new Teams planner app:

  1. Go to https://tasks.office.com/
  2. On the left of the screen (desktop mode), select the plan you are trying to delete (you may have to click "Show More")
  3. Click the 3 dots at the upper middle of the screen, next to Grid, Board, Charts, Schedule, Timeline.
  4. Click "Plan Settings".
  5. At the bottom of the side pane, click "Delete this plan".
  6. Check "I understand that this plan and all of its tasks will be permanently deleted", then click "Delete".

Good luck with it,

Grant

    I had no three dots as suggested, or if there were three dots, delete was not an option.

    I followed this instruction, and realize it was being blocked by pop up notifications on the bottom of my screen. After closing that notification did I find the "delete this plan!!" at the bottom!!!

    Finally!

    Thank you APHorton!!!

    The suite of Microsoft 0365 products are clunky. Horrible design.

    I am forced by my company to use the MS suite of tools because they are included with the Enterprise O365 agreement and they don't want to pay for superior products that are far more productive and user friendly.

    I am doing my best to bite my tongue and be respectful in this forum.

    Microsoft Teams and Planner are infuriating.

    I have followed every post here and still cannot delete a plan...a plan that I created in a channel that I created.

    There is no TASK tab. There is no Delete option under any three dots anywhere...unless I wish to delete the entire channel.
