How to bulk delete Workflows and Schemes?

Nick Fenton May 9, 2017

Hey All! 

My company has recently undergone a process of cleaning up our Jira including deleting old inactive workflows and schemes. We have 100+ old workflows that can be deleted but doing so manually is taking forever. Is there a way to bulk delete workflows and schemes? I was unable to find an option. 

 

Cheers!

Nick.

Not a great hack, but opening the delete link in a new tab allows you to simply flip through them...

There is no bulk delete, as there's an assumption that admins clean up after themselves as they go.

Hi,

I think the only way to do this is with a script. With your title i think you have already seen this page, if it's not the case:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/JIRA-questions/How-to-bulk-delete-Inactive-Draft-workflows/qaq-p/403845

This describe the only way i know to bulk delete inactive workflow and inactive scheme.

If you want the script to work, you have to be sure that none of the inactive workflow are in a draft scheme.

Well that's a bold and inaccurate assumption 🤣

Not so much an assumption as an example of the "willful ignorance" fallacy
