Hi @Sherry Nightingale Please follow the below steps:

• Browse your site URL
• Navigate to Your work -> Boards -> View all boards
• Find the board that you want to delete. Click on three dots beside the required board and select 'Delete'. The board will be deleted successfully.

Hey Ravina

Not sure what you mean by 'browse your URL'?

Thanks

@Sherry NightingaleBrowse your site URL means access your Jira cloud site for example

https://your-company-name.atlassian.net/jira

Thanks for sharing - the images aren't loading

What do you mean by 'search your url'?

[Sebastian Krzewiński]

Browse your site URL mean that you need to open your jira in web browser.

To delete boards you own without being a system admin:

1. go to Your work -> Boards tab -> View all boards from the top menu.
2. click on the 3 dots at the last column of the board you want to delete
3. select Delete

I am in community managed project and I am not seeing the option of 'View All Boards' anywhere. If I go to "..." of the individual board, I dont get Delete option. I am the org admin for JIRA. Any thing I am missing?

For a team-managed project, have a look at this answer from above:

All the other comments were rubbish! So here's a 1 minute step-by-step tutorial video for how to delete a Board from a Jira company-managed project, as of Feb. 2025: CLICK HERE.

I recorded a short loom tutorial video that will show you the two different click-paths to be able to delete a Board from your Jira.

[Adam Bang]

This is the way. If the video disappears go to

https://<your company>.atlassian.net/jira/board

From there the kebab menu on the right of a board has a delete option

[Andrew Ermon]

@Adam Bang you mean, this IS the way (present tense) 😆.

Thank you everyone for your comments - I finally figured out how to do it :-)

[Srinivas Guddati]

can you share how you did it? I am in a company managed project and I have the same issue. Not able to find delete option. 

[Hanna Ismahilova]

Hi Srinivas, 

Let me guide you how I did it.

• Go to Main Jira Dashboard
• Insert "/" slash into the "Search" field located on the top of the Dashboard (navigation bar)
• Look for "Go to all:" section on the bottom of the modal-> there you will see different options like Boards, Plans, People etc
• Click on "Boards" option -> Boards page will be displayed
• On the "Boards" page find the search field and search your board by name -> the board should be displayed
• Click "More actions" (...) and select Delete action (if you are owner or admin of the board you should have this option)
