Planner Tasks cannot be deleted or edited.

Hi,

After deleting a group to which a plan is assigned, two tasks remain in the task list. These can no longer be edited or deleted. Restoring the group was possible, but did not provide a solution.
The plan ID of the originally linked plan is different from that of the restored plan.

I have tried the following without success:

Delete in the Planner Chrome-Edge Browser Desktop /iPhone
Delete in Planner Safari Browser Desktop /iPhone
Delete in Teams Desktop /Web / Mobile
Delete in ToDo App

Error message:
"Only members of the Office 365 group can delete tasks. Technical details".


What else can I do to delete these tasks?

Regards Siggi

    Hi,

    Actually, if you open My Tasks in outlook, you can see the task that you created in microsoft team is there, and you can delete it from there.

      I did several plans for training. Deleted the plans with acknowledging task will also be deleted, but tasks did not delete and I cannot delete now. In the My Tasks, sort by plan … it has a column for each of the deleted plans saying "Former plan".   tyger

        Same issue here...

        I have restored the group that was deleted but I guess as the plan within the group is permanently deleted, the task is orphaned and inaccessible.
