Deleting Work Items

Is it possible to delete a work item? I know that normally I don't have to delete work items but sometimes mistakes can happen. Is there a possibility to delete the saved work item? or to make it no count in reports?

Thanks,
George Homorozeanu.

Hi George,

You cannot delete work items in this version of TFS. You can however customise your work items so that they have a "deleted" state so you can effectively set your WI's not to appear in your required reports.
