Hi,

I want to know the REST API that provides details/list of Deleted JIRA instances.
If not REST API, is there any other alternative ?

Thanks & Regards,
Soujanya

Delete really does delete them.  You can't report on things that are not there.

The best you can do is look at the numbers of issues in a project.   When there is a non-sequential gap (e.g. 4, 5, 6, , 8, 9) you know the issue (7) has been moved to another project or deleted.  You can check for move by trying to fetch it with the original name, Jira will return the issue in its current new place.

You could look at the access log for the Delete REST API if you have access to the server.

I once thought about allowing people to change the Issue Security level of issues to hide them from everyone, but it was too confusing to use

Hello,

What do you mean by 'Deleted Jira instances'? Do you mean deleted Jira issues? If so, it is not possible to get info about deleted issues. Issues are deleted permanently without any trace.
