https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=3089992941 This workunit was aborted from my computer, it was assigned to someone else, then someone else, then someone else ... but it was never removed from my system (hostname fx) so I can not delete that computer. The only way to delete a computer is only if there are no tasks assigned to it. Can someone help? thanks.

You'll just have to wait until it either is returned correctly and validated, or until it reached enough errors by everyone else. Only then will it be deleted from all host IDs. By the way, it isn't physically still on your computer, it just shows in the host ID on the web site. The wait can be quite long, for me the last time around it was over three months.
