Delete a work item from your list

Unless otherwise noted, the list in software projects is the same for both company-managed and team-managed projects.

To delete a work item, you must have the Delete work items permission in the project where the work was created. Learn more about project permissions.

To delete a work item from the list:

  1. Use the checkbox to select the work item you’d like to delete.

  2. Select Delete.

  3. Select Delete again to confirm.

Alternatively, you can:

  1. Select the key for the work item you’d like to delete, to open the work item.

  2. Select More actions (), then select Delete.

  3. Select Archive if you want to archive the work item, or enter Delete in the text box to confirm that you want to delete the work item.

  4. Select Delete to confirm.
