I'm a simple user, with no database access.
I want to remove-delete all my draft files, almost 100. I didn't check the drafts tab since years.
Make this manually is very too long.
Any clue for me.
I promise, I will clean it every week.
Thanks
Hello @Benoit Masse!
As I understand, you have a high volume of drafts in your user account in Confluence and need to remove those drafts.
Currently, the deletion of multiple drafts at the same time is not possible. Since I am not 100% sure about which platform you are using (cloud or on-premises) due to your mention of database, I will link documentation for both:
[Confluence Cloud] Create, edit, and publish a page – Drafts [Confluence Data Center and Server] Drafts
The feature to delete multiple drafts at once has been suggested here:
[Confluence Cloud] Ability to bulk delete drafts
Currently, the best course of action is to vote and watch the report. Voting helps to increase the visibility given to the report and by watching the report you will be kept up to date with everything posted there.
Let us hear from you!
Please also consider voting for this to be fixed: CONFCLOUD-70244
And perhaps add a comment there also pointing out your use-case (that, as a user rather than an admin, you want to clean up your own drafts).
Thanks!
Thanks for pointing this out @Mykenna Cepek
I stumbled upon my (large) pile of draft pages today (most of them being empty and untitled) so I have voted for https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-70244.
@Benoit Masse we've experienced the same pain with managing old drafts that need cleaning up.
Since https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-70244 hasn't had any movement for some time, we've created an app which can bulk delete all drafts on your site with a single click.
I'd love to hear if this helps solve the problem for you. You can install it here:
