jira how to get rid of the old filter history

Question

Even though I create a new filter, old search criteria history is still there. then I will get a 'search is too complex' kind of message.

how can I start out with a clean filter?

we are using v4.4.5#665-sha1:422aead)

when I click new, I get all the history for a different filter

History

* project = RS AND issuetype = Bug AND (summary ~ 'work' AND summary ~ 'space' OR summary ~ workspace) AND project = RS
* project = RS AND issuetype = Bug AND summary ~ 'work' AND summary ~ 'space' AND project = RS
* project = RS AND issuetype = Bug AND summary ~ 'Work' AND summary ~ 'space' AND project = RS
* project = RS AND issuetype = Bug AND summary ~ 'Work space' AND project = RS
* project = RS AND issuetype = Bug AND summary ~ "Work space" AND project = RS
* project = RS AND issuetype = Bug AND summary ~ Workspace AND project = RS
* project = RS AND issuetype = Bug AND summary ~ Workspaces AND project = RS
* project = RS AND issuetype = Bug AND (reporter = jira_rollstream_internal_escalate OR reporter = KaziR)
* project = RS AND (Summary ~ 'CUST-')
* project = RS AND (Summary ~ "CUST\-")

Hi Paul,

which version of JIRA do you use? (For JIRA 5.2.+) Does a click on "new filter" not reset all filtered settings, or do I misunderstand your question? If so, maybe you can provide more specific information.

Kind regards
