    "incantation": "When deleting multiple Cloud Tasks, pass the queue and task input file to `gcloud alpha` or `gcloud beta tasks delete`; optionally write failed or skipped tasks to an output file. The input file can list task IDs/names one per line or use JSON/YAML format.",
    "examples": [
      "gcloud beta tasks delete --queue=<queue> --from-file=<tasks-file> --failed-tasks-file=<failed-tasks-file>",
      "gcloud alpha tasks delete --queue=<queue> --from-file=<tasks-file> --failed-tasks-file=<failed-tasks-file>"

      "Availability: alpha, beta",
      "--queue=<queue> (required): Queue the tasks belong to.",
      "--from-file=<tasks-file>: Path to a file containing task IDs/names to delete, one per line or in JSON/YAML format.",
      "--failed-tasks-file=<failed-tasks-file>: Path to a file for JSON details of tasks that failed or were skipped during batch deletion.",
      "Docs conflict: The alpha command reference, last updated 2026-05-27, documents only single-task deletion and omits both file flags; the beta command reference, last updated 2026-09-29, documents batch deletion and both flags. https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/alpha/tasks/delete"
