Use this interactive demo to learn how to remove a space or project from your Jira workspace.

Quick summary

Deleting a Jira project (now called a Space) takes just a few clicks using the Move to Trash option from the More Actions menu. This step-by-step walkthrough shows exactly how to locate, trash, and confirm removal of any Jira space.


Steps

  1. On Jira's main home page, navigate to the Recommended Spaces section and click 'View All Spaces'.
  2. Find the space (formerly called Project) you wish to delete, then click the 'More Actions' button next to it.
  3. Select 'Move to Trash' from the list of options.
  4. Click 'Move' to confirm the deletion request.
  5. The selected Jira project (Space) will be successfully moved to trash and deleted.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to delete a project in Jira helps teams keep their workspace clean and free of outdated or unused spaces. Jira's Move to Trash workflow gives administrators a safe, reversible way to remove projects without permanently losing data immediately. Proper project lifecycle management in Jira reduces clutter, improves navigation, and ensures teams stay focused on active work. This is an essential admin skill for any organization relying on Jira for project tracking and team collaboration.
