how to delete several filters from a project at the same time?

How to delete several filters from a project at the same time?

How do I make a mass deletion? 

I need to remove more than 20 filters from a project. How do I make a bulk deletion? 

Thank you !

Hello @Elsa TROUDART

In addition to what was mentioned by @Liam Green, the ability to bulk delete filters was considered as a possible enhancement in Jira before, however, our developers decided to not implement it due to the low number of requests:

Bulk delete user saved filters 

that being said, there is a possible workaround to this issue:

1. Identify your filter ids by using the REST API Search for filters

2. Once you have the filter ids, bulk delete them by creating a script with the REST API to delete filters:
   DELETE /rest/api/3/filter/{id}

Let us know if you have any questions.

Hi @Elsa TROUDART 

Unfortunately, you cannot delete them in bulk - you would need to delete each one individually.

Hope that helps,
