Delete an attachment in an issue

Attachments appear in a separate Attachments section in an issue. If you don’t need an attachment anymore, you can delete it to reduce clutter.

Only you or an admin can delete attachments that you’ve added (unless your permissions have been turned off).

To delete an attachment:

  1. Open an issue.

  2. Find the attachment to delete.

  3. Hover over the attachment.

  4. Select the bin icon ().

Tip: If the bin icon () doesn’t appear or get announced, you may not have permission to delete an attachment. If this happens, contact your admin or whoever added the attachment.

Attachments in comments

If the attachment was added to the issue by a comment or field, you can’t delete it from the attachment panel. If that’s the case, find the field or comment the attachment was added to and delete it from there.

Deleting a comment with an attachment removes the attachment from the whole issue. If someone has copied the attachment from one comment to another, it will also delete from the second comment.
