ShareGate Migrate maintains a history of all your completed tasks. Over time, the reports and results take up space on your hard drive. It is good practice to delete the records that are no longer needed.
Note: Deleting a task is permanent. You cannot recover the records once you have completed the action. For information on how to save records to your workstation, see Export tasks.

Available space
On the top left of the Tasks screen, you can see how many megabytes (MB) the app is using and how much space you still have available.
How-to
- Select Tasks from the menu.
- Add a checkmark in the box to the left of the task(s) you want to delete. To select all tasks on a page, add a checkmark in the box to the left of the Task column.
- Click the Delete trash icon.
- In the Delete task popup, click Delete.
The task will now be gone from the Tasks screen and your work history.
Tip: You can only delete the tasks currently displayed on the Tasks screen. If you have a lot of tasks to delete, set the Items per page to 500 so you can delete more tasks at once.
Use filters
Some tasks take up more space than others. For example, Migration reports can take up much space when you perform large migration projects. You can use filters to specify what tasks you want to delete.
- Select Tasks from the menu.
- Click Add filter to display a dropdown menu.
