If you're done with a task, but want to access it later, you can archive it to clean up your Workspace. When you archive a task, you're removing it from view, not deleting it. You can still search for and view archived tasks at any time.

The difference between deleting and archiving is that archiving allows you to access the information at a later time if necessary. 

Any files that are attached to the task will also be archived. To recover attached files, you must unarchive the task.
