I'm new to creating tasks in Jira and I accidentally created a duplicate that needs to be permanently removed. There was no option for deleting duplicates or deleting anything. Thanks!

Hello @Lisa Wininger 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Where are you looking to find the option to Delete an issue?

If you have sufficient permissions (refer to @Brant Schroeder 's response) then you will find the option by clicking the three-dots button in the upper right corner of the issue.

@Lisa Wininger welcome to the Atlassian community 

Jira allows you to delete issues.  Jira administrators can change permissions on a project to prevent this.  Are you a Jira administrator?
