hey KC,

- Just click on the work time item to open it.
- In the top right corner there's tree dots menu (...), click it and select Delete option.
If there's no such option, most likely you do not have permissions. You should ask your Jira admin to grant you permissions or delete it for you.

Hi @KC 

 

You can delete a work item by clicking on the ... on the top right of the work item > Delete.

Note that you need to have configure the permission scheme associated with your space to grant your role Delete permission.

Hello @KC ,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

To delete a work item in a company-managed project, the user must have the Delete Issue/Work item permission. In a team-managed project, the role assigned to the user must also include permission to delete work items.

Could you please share a bit more detail about the context? It'll help us better understand the scenario and assist you.

Inorder to delete a work item, make sure the user/you have Delete issue permission on the project where work item is located.

To delete a work item:
