Cannot delete tasks

Cannot delete tasks

Hello.  I just accidentally created a task twice, and cannot for the life of me figure out how to delete the unwanted task.  It seems like tasks are supposed to have the little icons that appear to the left when you hover over the task, but this is not happening.  I have gone to numerous screens where those tasks show up, trying to find the one where I can have an option of deleting, but it is nowhere to be found.

If someone could explain how to easily delete tasks, that would be great.  Also...PLEASE, if this is another new function of 4.0 that was changed from the previous version, please correct this so that it is VERY easy to delete tasks right from whatever task list we are looking at, on whatever screen we are viewing our list from.  It is really a hassle to have to click all over the place just to get somewhere where we are able to edit or delete a task. 

Thank you!
