Cannot remove issue types task and subtask

Question

When setting up issue types for a team-managed project, I can create and delete newly created issue types. However, the already existing issue types "task" and "subtask" don't have the three dot icon that let's me access the command. How do I get rid of those issue types?

Thanks a lot in advance! :)

I have this problem as well, however I'm unable to delete/remove any issue types in my team-managed project, even the ones I created myself. Same problem, missing the three dots.

Not sure if you can watch the network tab when you click the delete button on issue types you can do this for, I feel like this is a UI bug.

It is documented here: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/set-up-issue-types-in-team-managed-projects/ (at the very bottom), however, as you just recognized as well, the option is simply not there in this constellation.

To be honest, I never use team-managed projects. I just created a team-managed business project (Jira Work Management) and I don't see the option to delete the Task and Sub-task issue type either. Can't seem to find anything in the documentation related to deleting issue types.
