Is there a way to delete multiple teams in one go?

[Gerhard Heisig]

Hi, 

after a migration, we have a lot of teams in our Jira cloud, which we want to delete.

Is it possible to delete multiple teams in one step? If yes, how?

Thanks,

Gerhard

Hi @Gerhard Heisig 

Welcome to the community!

Currently, Jira Cloud does not support the bulk deletion of multiple teams directly through its user interface. However, there are alternative methods to streamline this process:

1. Using REST API

2. Third-Party Apps

3. Manual Deletion

Steps for Manual Deletion:

1. Go to your Jira Cloud instance and log in with administrative privileges.
2. Navigate to "People" from the main menu.
3. Select "Teams."
4. Identify the teams you want to delete.
5. Click on each team and select "Delete."

Hi Sushant,

thanks for the fast response. 

This is a one time clean up and there are almost 100 teams to be deleted. I would therefore prefer not to get involved in REST API and Third-Party Apps. 

As it is not possible in the user interface, would it make sense to ask Jira support to assist?
