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

    Clicking on the name of the plan I get 'Plan Details' not 'Plan Settings'.

    'Plan Details' does not have the delete plan option.

    I get the same when I open the plan in a brawser.

    I have the same issue here.

    First they decided to rename 'Plan Settings' to 'Plan Details' (I can't imagine the number of hours and brainstorming in the Microsoft office to come to this decision.... apparently that was the main priority to fix...).

    Secondly the 'Delete' option is not showing at all. Contrarily to what they are saying, the bottom of the panel is empty.

    What's even funnier, is that when you try to 'Remove' the plan from the Teams app, they tell you the following message:

    Ok but where? The only button available at the end of that message is 'Remove'.

    Thank you Microsoft haha!

    Hi everyone, I don't know if this is solved for you all, no time to read the whole thread...

    Last week I played around with Planner in New Teams, created a Plan and wanted to delete it: I could not. All the help seemed to adress the old apps (Teams, Planner) and I could not find any Option to delete a plan (that I CREATED a minute before and i DID NOT SHARE it with anyone at all).

    But today I found something!

    If you go to "My Plans" and click on a particular plan, you then can see a kind of at the top "breadcrumb menu" that shows you, where you have navigated to.

    • Let's say you created a plan calles "Test1" in "My Plans". Click on the "Test1" plan to enter the details of that plan.
    • look at the top on the "breadcrumb like" navigation path and click on the name of the plan that you just are in.
    • tadaaa! a menu-pane slides in from the right side named "plan details"
    • at the bottom of that menu-pane you can see the option to "delete this plan"

    I don't know if this delete button was recently added by MS or if this existed last week. But there it is (at least with my account).

    Best of luck to you all :)

    Regards
