Delete drafts or unsused pages in Project pages in Jira Software

[Aizat]

Hello. I'm new to Jira Software.

I am trying to delete unused project pages or drafts, but I cannot find the delete button. I don't want to hide Project pages, just delete the rest of the pages inside it.

See attachment for reference.

Thank you so much!

Assuming you have the necessary permissions do the following:

1. click on Recent then Drafts
2. Open the draft you wish to delete
3. click on the ellipses in upper right and select Delete unpublished page
4. click to confirm
5. repeat for each page

I have the same problem as the original poster.

I am admin, but where do I find "Recent"??

Obviously Jira's GUI needs lots of work, if such simple stuff is "hard" to do.

@Jack Brickey Like David Ong, I'm a site admin for both Jira and Confluence.  If I create draft pages in my Jira Project Pages and don't publish them, the draft pages are only visible within the Jira Project Project Pages.  Opening up Confluence application and the specific space, the pages with a draft lozenge don't display in the page navigation tree and they also don't show in the Confluence Recent / Drafts on my home page.  Additionally, they don't show in the Jira Your Work / Recents.    The only way I have found to delete the page is to publish it then open Confluence directly and edit/delete the page.  I can't delete draft pages within the Jira Project Pages.

Here is what I see in my cloud instance today. Please note that things continually changing cloud so things may be different than they were when I posted back in 2022.

We are prepping for product rollout and when testing this last week the pages in draft were not visible in the confluence space.  Today, rerunning the tests, the draft pages are visible within the space and where you've pointed me to on the users home page/Drafts.  I know we had enhancements roll to our instance at the end of the week so I'm chalking this up to the instance becoming more current.
