Hi @Mark Surman ,

Do you need to delete attachments for a specific work item?

Please check project permissions in order to verify that you are able to delete your own attachment/all attachments.

Please let us know,

Fabio

Hello @Mark Surman ,

Good day! Welcome to Atlassian Community :)

Inorder to be able to delete attachments:

  • Make sure user has Delete all attachments and Delete own attachment permission on the space where the workitem exists
  • If even after having above permissions, the delete option is not present, then most likely the attachment added to the work item by a comment or field. If that’s the case, find the field or comment the attachment was added to and delete it from there.

Thank you
