Task deletion: info about task being deleted despite it being not #1083
Description
When user clicks the button to delete a task, and confirms the deletion, we see a popup in the bottom right corner of the screen informing about the fact that the task got deleted successfully (see the first screen shot). At the same time, the task and the associated workspace are still there:
The popup disappears after a few seconds and the process of the deletion is only then reported in the task status. See the second screenshot.
The recommended behavior is to inform about the task deletion only AFTER it was deleted. Alternatively the popup might say something like "task deletion has started, and it may take a moment to be completed."

Right now, that is not possible because the delete process happens asynchronously. This behaviour is the same of the workspace deletion.

Refactor solves this - tasks are deleted immediately.

@johnstcn pics or it didn't happen. :)
Let's see how it behaves before closing this one as completed.
