How do I remove a previous sprint from the backlog view in my project?

[Chuck Shroder]

So my team and I just converted from CA Agile Center (formerly Rally) to Jira. We migrated everything over and are working on our configuration of the system. One thing that Rally did was you had iterations and each iteration contained the user stories or bugs that you added to it and in the top left corner you could toggle between those sprints to see what was in each of them. In Jira, we created all of the historic sprints to move stories and bugs into post conversion. Now that I have a dozen sprints in my view on the Backlog screen in Jira, how do I remove them from that view?

JIRA Sprint backlog view displays open sprints and backlog. If it is displaying your historic sprints, then they most likely need to be closed.

• Close a sprint from the "Active Sprints" view off tot he left. Select "Complete sprint" near the top right of screen

Hope this helps

Thank you @Ryan Fish. However, I can only complete sprint for the current active sprint. Is there a way to complete them after I close the current sprint or do I need to start each one and then close them one by one? Thanks!

Anytime.

If you have multiple sprints open, then you are running parallel sprints. You should manage through active sprints view. 
If not, then you would need to close start/ close them AFTER the current sprint as you stated.
