  2. In the navigation pane, choose BPMs.

If a scheduled task in an application is no longer used, you can delete it from the application to prevent it from occupying the resource quota of the account.

  1. Log in to the application designer by referring to Logging In to the Application Designer.
  2. In the navigation pane, choose BPMs.
  3. Under Scheduled Task, click the scheduled task to be deleted. The task details page is displayed.
  4. On the details page, click Disable to disable the task.
  5. Move the cursor to of the disabled task and choose Delete.
  6. In the displayed dialog box, select Delete the records in the resource and click Confirm.
