# Deleting an existing Custom Task Status

Deletes a custom task status within a task status set. If assigned to a task (story), the task’s status will default to the status type (category)—not started, started, needs info, or completed.
- This will delete the task status from this set. If this status is currently being used by a task in a project, the status will reset to its default status type: Not Started, Started, Needs Info, or Completed.


The response will contain no content and an HTTP 204 status code if the request was
successful, or a standard Kantata OX error message explaining why the object could not be deleted.
