Visualforce

Write up a page that allows deletion of a specified task. Works the same as above, but uses Visualforce instead of JavaScript.

You can actually delete a record in a trigger using "after update". Just make a custom checkbox and have the trigger delete the record when checked. Users will only be able to delete tasks they can edit using this method.

Activity Timeline

When you look at a record in Salesforce Classic, such as a contact or opportunity, you use the Open Activity and Activity History related lists to stay on top of activities.

Recap the Latest Activities

Your colleague is out of the office, and you’re handling their accounts until they get back. When a client calls, how do you get up to speed on what’s been happening?

Find the Activities That Matter Most

If you’ve been working with an account, opportunity, or other record for any length of time, you probably have a mix of activities in the activity timeline. How do you find the details you’re looking for?

Tasks and Task Lists

There’s no Tasks tab in Salesforce Classic beyond the My Tasks list on the Home page.

Keep Your To-Dos Up to Date

Another great aspect of the task list is that while you see the list on the left, expanded details appear to the right for whichever task you have selected.

Calendar

Salesforce Classic includes a calendar to help remind you about appointments.

View Other Calendars

What’s especially helpful in Lightning Experience is how you can share your calendar and view your colleagues’ calendars from your calendar. Plus, you can add multiple calendars at the same time with user lists. If you don’t see user lists as a search category in the Add Calendars dialog box, ask your admin about setting up user list calendars.
