Hi. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. Rosetta has been giving my Sony phone tasks, but it seems that android keeps crashing, and the app refuses to acknowledge that the phone is plugged in. So it's not doing anything at all now.
Its been working fine with other projects up til now. But it seems clear that my little Sony doesn't have the computational power (or the storage space) to deal with these tasks.
My first thought was to delete the tasks and remove the app, but I don't know what will happen to those tasks of I do that. Will the project lose the data? Will the tasks not get accomplished if I do that? I don't want any tasks (especially relating to something so important) to go unworked. Will the tasks get routed elsewhere?

Thanks in advance 😊

Nope, don't delete them.
In the Manager on the Projects tab select Rosetta, then set No New Tasks. Go to the Tasks tab, select all of the Tasks there, then Abort (the Yes you do want to abort them). Once that is done, you can then go back to the Project Tab and select Remove to remove Rosetta from your projects (doing this should release all existing tasks anyway, but by setting No new Tasks, and aborting them it makes sure that they are released back in to the pool of work to do).
