# Delete scheduled tasks: Perplexity Tasks vs. Computer

> Learn where to delete older Perplexity Tasks under Settings and Notifications, and how to stop newer scheduled tasks created in Perplexity Computer.

<h2 id="h_perplexity_tasks"><b>Perplexity Tasks (Scheduled Searches)</b></h2>

<p>Perplexity has two types of scheduled or recurring tasks. They are managed in different places.</p>

<p>Perplexity Tasks are the older recurring tasks, such as daily summaries, scheduled searches, and price alerts. They are not managed through Computer.</p>

<p><strong>Where to find them:</strong> Settings → Notifications, or go directly to <a href="https://www.perplexity.ai/account/notifications" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">perplexity.ai/account/notifications</a>.</p>

<p><strong>How to delete them:</strong></p>

<ul>
  <li>
    <p>Go to <a href="https://www.perplexity.ai/account/notifications" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">perplexity.ai/account/notifications</a>.</p>
  </li>

  <li>
    <p>Click each task to open it.</p>
  </li>

  <li>
    <p>Click <strong>Delete</strong> to remove it.</p>
  </li>

  </li>
</ul>

<h2 id="h_tell_which_type"><b>How to tell which type you have</b></h2>
