I just came across this and I totally agree. I shared a list with my girlfriend and she no longer wants it in her RTM and there is no way I can remove it unless I delete the list. Seems silly really.

+1, unsharing should be part of RTM.

i shared some task lists from a contract job to my personal RTM account. I no longer work there but it seems that even as the shared-to party i have no way to "unsubscribe" from those lists. I have no option but to clutter up my task list with tasks that no longer have anything to do with me!

I would not even say that this is a feature.
I consider it a bug that you can share but not unshare a list!

That needs to be corrected asap

Yup, I have the same set up (a ps and a wk account). Seems like if you control the two accounts in question, this shouldn't be an issue.

Wow. I didn't read who posted this originally and just realized it was me. Whoops, sorry.

So... obviously still think this is a good idea, heh.

I want to use RTM with my wife. If a (for me) repeating task have to be shared for one time, I need to be able to share it and unshare it.

Delete and recreate a (repeating) task as the only way to unshare a task won't work. To much work.

I shared my inbox with my wife and I now have no way of unsharing it. She has made no changes to the list and she now no longer wants it in her RTM as it is impossible to distinguish between my Inbox and her Inbox (you can't rename a Inbox). Neither one of us can unshare the list. Seems like basic functionality. Agree with previous poster that the lack of this feature makes RTM unsuitable for business purposes.

I love RTM but the inability to unshare a list is a real blocker.

I'm getting a divorce and I can't unshare any of my lists with my ex. Is the workaround to just delete all my lists and start over? This seems like a hassle.

Tested something that was a success as a workaround but does involve some work.

Steps
- Created a new, unshared list
- Move all the tasks to an unshared list (complete and incomplete)
- Delete the original list
- Rename the new list back to the original name.

Results
- A completed task CAN be moved to another list without uncompleting it
- The shared list is removed from my account
- The shared list is NOT removed from their account but is empty
- All incomplete tasks AND completed tasks should be moved or be moved to the inbox.
- All tasks, even if completed by the other person, will be removed from their account

NOTE: IF the other person deletes the shared list before you have a chance to move the items to an unshared list, all items will move to their inbox (complete and incomplete) and will be removed from your account.

Kanntara I was doing that but evidently it doesn't work for some tasks. This is a real PITA.

+1 - I have a litter of old lists no longer shareable but cluttering up the tabs

Posted 1 year ago

Totally agree that this is needed:

If I share a list of daily assignments with my housekeeper and she moves away I don't want her deleting my list since it no longer pertains to her. I want to share the list with the new housekeeper.

I also want to share chores with my kids etc. After going to the trouble of setting up the tasks to I don't want to worry that one of them gets deleted because one of the kids just didn't feel like doing it that way.

Hit enter to soon. I was going to cut that last paragraph and post in a new suggestion to protect tasks from deletion on shared lists.

It seems like a terrible shame that such an essential privacy issue hasn't even been commented on by the company. It gives us very little confidence in using RTM for anything serious.

Relationships change, and people who work on tasks together often do so for a limited amount of time and then go their own ways. Being able to unshare easily is an essential feature.

RTM. Please Listen.
There have been no comments from you on this.
The logic is simple. The sharer of the list- should be the owner. They should decide who the list gets shared with (and unshared with). If the owner removes someone who it is shared with the list should be deleted from the other persons account and moved to a 'system' list called something "Shared- Removed". (This list could not exist until required). That way no notes or changes will be lost.
Should be pretty simple.
We are experimenting in the office with rtm and sharing tasks/lists. I am hoping to convince the whole office to go pro, but this is something that has already raised alarm bells with most of the team. We have tried different scenarios but they all require workrounds and risk deleting tasks.
Also as a side note, tasks should not be deleteable by anyone but the "owner"- only editable.
RTM Please respond and let us know your thoughts on this frustrating subject.

I was somehow able to unshare a list. First, I deleted the Contact from the Contacts page, then I went back to the List -> Share tab and clicked on the shared contact's name. It error-ed out, but it appears as though the person is no longer sharing the list.
