Archive, Delete or Hide Completed List/Task
Some of the lists may have all completed task and the list may not be valid anymore. Can there be option to archive or hide a list? Some recurring items which have over dozens of completed records, should be archived too.

You can delete all you completed tasks. Click you profile settings > Smart List > Slide the “Complete Tasks” option > Go back to Home Screen > Go to Complete Tasks > Edit > Select All > Delete. You can also go through them and create an Archive list and move any/all the completed tasks you want you keep there before you delete them. I just don’t think you can keep them with it being “completed” and crossed out.

I agree with us all. I have thousands of Completed tasks dating back about 5 years, and the current Task Delete function will take forever to delete one by one. Most frustratingly, the Completed Tasks being so many of them, is now slowing down my ToDo app on mobile and PC :(

This is a crucial feature for managing projects. Having a completed project still showing up doesn't make sense.

I would like to see a facility where bulk deletion of completed tasks can be done with one click. I can't understand why this is not available - it just seems such an obvious time consuming improvement that would benefit all users.

I would also like to see creation date in the completed task list.

I agree with others that, at the very least, we need an option to archive lists as an alternative to deleting. I have over a year of tasks for an organization in a list under my personal account. After finally getting funding for a domain and MS 365 tenant, all new lists and tasks are stored under a work account.
Meanwhile, the old list is still awkwardly showing in To Do under my personal account. There's no option to export and import it to the work account. My only choice is to leave the old list there sticking out like a sore thumb forever or permanently delete it and lose all the task history.

I would prefer the completed task to be deleted right away or after X amount of days, depending on whatever suits you, but we need that option to be available.

Please let us Archive a list!! This is my #1 feature request. Lists can be treated like mini projects this way and once its complete we can archive them.

Being able to archive/hide complete lists please - but the ability to still be able to search for completed tasks within them is needed.

Please add the ability to archive lists. I use a list pre project and it's useful to have the ability to refer back as and when required

Microsoft lets get this on the road map please!
Ability to hide a folder/task and ability to unhide them from the settings page is crucial.
Thanks for your consideration.

Definitely! There is a task that I have to do every day and when I search, there are tons of the completed ones coming up. Pls, find a way to archive automatically or make the system ask you to archive.

It would be nice to have an option to hide completed tasks, it's tedious having to press the delete button all the time. There are some lists where I don't need to see the completed tasks at all so please bring it back, thanks.

Solution exists:
Create a folder called “Archive” and move list there
