We're updating our terminology in Jira

'Issue' is changing to 'work item'. You might notice some inconsistencies while this big change takes place.

Delete a project

You must have the Administer Jira global permission to delete projects from trash.

To permanently delete a project, you must first move the project to trash. Once you permanently delete a project from the trash, you won't be able to recover it. If you think that you might need a project later, we recommend that you either archive projects or hide projects instead.

To permanently delete a project:

  1. Choose Settings () > Projects.

  2. Select Trash from the sidebar

  3. Find your company-managed project and select ••• > Delete permanently.
