I could swear that in the past there was an option to delete old tasks/projects through OF for IOS, but I’ve just gone to look for it and I can’t find it.
I don’t have OF for Mac and after searching for a task which I recently completed, I’ve come to realise that I have items going right back to April 2020 which I no longer need (I’ve changed jobs)
Is this Mac Only? Am I going mad?
It’s not affecting performance, but I’d like to purge records from that previous role.
I don’t recall having this option in iOS.
You can make a custom perspective and have it grouped and sorted by date. Then delete the tasks in the desired grouping (example: tasks more than 1 month old).
Maybe you are thinking of the ‘Clean’ command documented here:

Thanks Wilson, this is the path I may need to go down…
I distinctly remember OF for IOS prompting me in the past to delete old items. I remember it because it was deleting rather than archiving (as OF for Mac does)
Thanks @MultiDim that’s probably what I was thinking of. So good to know that I’m not going daft.
it’s a shame that’s not there permanently. I’ll reach to OF support.
So I spoke to OF Support and they’ve provided me with a script which has achieved what I need which I can run whenever I wish to my heart’s content.
There are caveats on the use of the script which they wanted me to be aware of, but I’m happy.
Fantastic support again from OF @kcase
