John, Anything you delete from MLO is gone from all views. The "project area" you refer to is actually a view of all your tasks and folders marked as projects. Views are a powerful part of MLO to visualise your tasks and projects. I would suggest you take a look at the demo template in MLO which will help you understand the task organisation better. In MLO, click on File -> New and select the "MyLifeOrganized - Demo File" from the drop-down (see screenshot).
Hope this helps. Regards, Jay On Saturday, 8 November 2014 14:45:16 UTC, John Cesta wrote: > > > I think I get the inbox thing.
