I can not delete previously created filters

Question

I created a new project, begun setting up the project and then found out that I needed another type of project.

I proceeded to delete the project and created the new one.

Two filters seemed to have been created with the first project and they are left in Jira but I am not able to delete them.

How can I clean this up in the system? The filters are not used, have no project assigned but can not be deleted.

Hi @Ana C_ Brenes J ,

You can delete the unused filters in your cloud instance using Bobswift's Jira Command Line Interface. Please use the action as given below.

--action deleteFilter --id 10001

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Reshma

Hi @Ana C_ Brenes J

When you select the ... menu on the right side of the page, is the Delete option present?

Best regards,

this is a nasty side effect of deleting the project. deleting things generally is a bad idea and this is a good example of why. The delete isn't a clean 'uninstall' process. I would use suggestion from Reshma or contact Atlassian Support for assistance.
