Hi, I accidentally deleted some tasks, and even our admins can't find a “Recycle Bin” feature to restore them. We don't seem to have a backup of them—how can I recover the data?

Hi Marc Schütz, 

Unfortunately, Jira doesn't have a native restore option for deleted tasks. If the task in Jira was deleted, the options are to restore it from a backup or contact Atlassian support. 

To prevent such a situation in the future, you can try using Issue History for Jira (Work Item History) app from SaaSJet. 

Using this app, you will be able:

  • Track the complete Jira task change history

  • Monitor deleted tasks easily

  • Export full historical data in Excel, CSV, or PDF formats

  • Restore deleted tasks if needed 

Track and restore deleted work items in Jira. Monitor deleted issues and recover them anytime

The app is available for both Jira Cloud and Data Center.
