One of my computers is permanently deceased, and therefore will not ever complete the tasks that are assigned to it. In most projects, tasks will be marked as "abandoned" if they are not completed before the deadline. But since these tasks won't expire for a full year, they'll just be sitting there waiting for trickles that will never come. Is there a way to manually cancel them so they can be reassigned to someone else who will be able to complete them properly? This is the computer in question: https://www.cpdn.org/results.php?hostid=1510304 |

Afraid not here. If in a reasonable time, the scientists don't get enough tasks completed to give them the data they need they will issue some new ones. This only happens quite rarely. Please do not private message myself or other moderators for help. This limits the number of people who are able to help and deprives others who may benefit from the answer. |

I thought that might be the case. Thanks for the answer! |

IF you still have access to the harddrive there is a convulted set of steps to abort the tasks but it's not an easy thing. |
