Prerequisites
Before we proceed, please note that you will need delete permissions in your project in order to delete an issue. These permissions are usually assigned by a JIRA administrator or someone with admin rights.
Steps to Delete a JIRA Ticket
Here’s how you can delete a ticket in JIRA:
Step 1: Navigate to the Ticket
Find the ticket you want to delete either by using the search function, or by navigating to the project and then to the specific issue.
Step 2: Open the Ticket
Click on the ticket to open it. You should now see the ticket details on your screen.
Step 3: Click More Options
On the ticket detail page, look for the More button (usually it’s near the top of the page) and click on it. A dropdown menu will appear.
Step 4: Click “Delete”
In the dropdown menu, select the Delete option. You might be asked to confirm your decision before the ticket is deleted.
Step 5: Confirm Deletion

Conclusion
