Deleting multiple filters

[Vishu Vaidyanathan]

I can see how I can delete one filter at a time (takes a while). But how do we multi-select and delete multiple filters owned by me at the same time?

[Richard Price]

all very well, but after using JIRA for several years you end up with a mess of filters...

If you still want to see the ability to delete filters in bulk, vote for the JIRA Feature Request: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-68433.

I do bulk delete of filters and dashboards on this way: create a temporary user (I'll call him 'trash user'), change owner of all the dashboards and filters to delete with Script Runner App (use the feature 'Change dashboard or filter ownership' and change to 'trash user' - a very quick way!). Finally, you just have to delete 'trash user'.

You cannot select and delete multiple filters, the closest you get is the Shared Filters under System Administration if you have admin permissions. If you are on Jira Server, one possibility would be to remove them directly from the ''searchrequest'' table in database. Just note that this is unsupported and you should backup your database before making any changes to it.
