I'm trying to delete old storage to free up space, but I don't see a delete option. I'm the jira admin. 

 

Any ideas?

Hi Sati - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Basically what is taking up your storage are attachments on Work Items. Delete some of the bigger attachments and you should be good.

Hi John - thanks for the quick response. Where do I do that? I went to Storage management and see about 10 work items, but I have no way of deleting the work item or the attachments. I'm the admin of the group too.

Oh, I forgot that you are on a Free plan, so there is a good chance you might not able to do the deletions. What you could do is sign up for a trial Standard subscriptions for 30 days and then during that time go in and delete the items. Just be sure to revert back to the Free subscription after you do the cleanup so you don't automatically get charged at the end of the trial.
