After a deployment task is created, it is listed under the Jobs and Tasks >
Deployment and Migration folder. Click any task to view the properties of that
task. You can drag and drop tasks to other folders and manually create folders.
Any folders that you create do not display until you create a task or job in that
folder. Several tasks can also be combined into one job.

A task cannot be deleted if it is currently in use by a job or policy. You can use the
Jobs and Tasks view to see what jobs and policies use each task.
Tasks can be renamed, deleted, cloned, moved, and scheduled by right-clicking
the task and selecting the corresponding option.
