I detached one of my computers from PrimeGrid and uninstalled the BOINC manager, but the tasks that were assigned to this computer still show in progress on PrimeGrid. How do I notify PrimeGrid to recycle these tasks?

You don't have to.
The tasks will automatically be resent after your computer fails to report a result before the deadline.
Just for future reference, if you are detaching from a project, work units are recycled much quicker if you select "No more work" for the project, abort all the tasks in progress and in your cache, then detach. Aborting the task lets the system know that you will not be submitting a result and can therefore send it out immediately.

Actually, there's one more step:
Just for future reference, if you are detaching from a project, work units are recycled much quicker if you select "No more work" for the project, abort all the tasks in progress and in your cache, and update the project from the projects tab, then detach.
I'm not 100% sure, and different versions of the client might work differently, but I don't think the client will actually send the aborts to the server unless you tell it manually update. Of course, if you have a cc_config.xml entry to report results immediately, the client will usually report them as soon as you abort the tasks, but not always. So it's still a good idea to do the manual update. In any event, you should look at the task tab and wait until all of the tasks are gone. Any tasks that are in the client prior to detaching are still recorded at the server as being processed by your computer.
