## Delete boxes

To delete a box, right-click on it or click the configuration icon (the wrench) and select **Delete**. 

Deleting a box will not delete the tasks in its scope. However, you will lose the box's configuration, including the box statuses and some items such as the markers, filters, column views, etc.
