Hello @sanaz_mohammadi ,

Good day! Welcome to Atlassian Community :)

You need to have Delete issue permission on the concerned project to be able to delete issues from that project.

Hello @sanaz_mohammadi

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

I understand you'd like to delete a Work item. To delete a Work item, the user must have the Delete Issues permission on the Project.

Once the user has the required permission, they would see the Delete option from the 3 dots in the Issue view.

Hi @sanaz_mohammadi , welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your post.

You need the delete permission in the scheme for the project - https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/permissions-for-company-managed-projects/ 

Please check out this documentation for how to ask for this permission.

Cheers
