Is it possible to delete unused private filters and dashboards in bulk?

Question

Hi,

Is it possible to bulk delete all stale and unused private filters and dashboard in Jira Cloud Software?

We got more than 800 filters from previous projects. And a lot of them are personal filters for dashboards of employees no longer part of the project or resigned.

Is there a better way than deleting them one by one manually?

Thanks,

Hi @Zaldy Parian

Unfortunately, you can't delete filters in bulk - you would need to delete one by one.
Please refer the open ticket with Atlassian: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-68433

Possible workaround: (As per JRACLOUD-29924)

Identify your filter ids by using the REST API Search for filters and bulk delete them by creating a script with the REST API to delete filters:

DELETE /rest/api/3/filter/{id}

Hope this will help.
