Delete labels in Jira

Delete a label

You can get rid of labels that are not needed anymore in your Jira environment. If you just want to rename or merge the duplicate labels, please refer to this page Rename or edit labels in Jira instead.

To delete a label:

  1. Go to Apps → Manage Labels

  2. Find the label and click Delete. A confirm window will open, click Yes, proceed.

If you have a label that is used in too many issues, this operation might take a while.

To delete a label only in a project, go to Project → Manage Labels instead.
