I can see that the status of the issue is Resolved with resolution Fixed, and it will 5.4.4 is fix version. Does this mean that the problem will be gone when upgrading to 5.4.4?

Do you know when 5.4.4 will be released?

Hi Christian,

You are most welcome.

This bug report mentioned that the "affects versions: 5.3.1,5.3.4,5.4.1" and most probably on 5.4.2 . I don't know what version of Confluence are you using but I know the latest version is 5.4.3 that realeased on 18th Feburary 2014.

Unfortunately I don't know when 5.4.4 will be released.

Let me know if you have any other questions,

Cheers,

Saleh

Hi Saleh,
I think the bug is not fixed yet.

We have 5.4.1 productive and 5.5.2 on our staging server. In 5.4.1, we cannot delete spaces but we can purge pages. In 5.5.2, we cannot delete spaces + we cannot purge pages. I will raise a support request.

Regards,

Evelin

I thougth deleting spaces in Confluence isn't possible.

You can remove them, butt then will all the underlying pages be moved to the page above the removed one.

You can move all the (junk)pages under 1 central (junk) page. Then import a Word file at tools and let it remove all the underlying pages. Now you can quick remove the 1 top page.

OR you can move all the junkpages to 1 (new) (junk)space and than delete the space.
