Housekeeping: how can I bulk delete unused filters, dashboards, schemes and back-up workflows

[Pete P]

We are getting ready to migrate from Server to Cloud soon.  How can I bulk delete unused filters, dashboards, schemes and back-up workflows? (ex. I have over 2500 filters from users who have left the company) I don't want to bring these along to the cloud.

Hi @Pete P – have a look at @DarrylLee's articles that he posted here and here! He's been dealing with a Jira cloud instance that needed a serious clean-up, and he has achieved impressive results with Jira CLI:

• 451 projects -> 313
• 983 workflows -> 140 
• 756 workflow schemes -> 65
• 215 issue types -> 25
• 721 issue type schemes -> 46
• 1213 screens -> 145
• 1170 screen schemes -> 86
• 372 issue type screen schemes -> 53
• ...

Hi @Pete P 

We have created dedicated software to housekeeping. Created in forge for highest security or just a jar for DC. You will get 20+ reports on every aspect of jira. Like a swiss knife for admins. Meet Doctor pro for jira.
