I am not able to find Delete sprint option in backlog screen

[Roja Gurram]

Hi All,

I need to delete the sprint. And i was unable to find the delete option.

Please suggest me .

Next to the sprint name you should see an icon that looks like 3 dots:

. . .

When you click it, you should see options for Move Sprint, Edit Sprint, and Delete Sprint depending on your permissions

Hi David,

Please see attached screenshot. Not able to find any option.

Roja,

Is this a server or cloud instance?  I'm on server, so my screen may look different.

In looking at your screenshot, what about the 3 dots I have circled?

[david_hibler]

Roja,

There is also this article that walks through the process depending on whether the sprint is in planning, active, or completed.  It does mention needing the Manage Sprints permission.

David,

I am also on server 7.3.1.

If i click on the 3 dots which you have highlighted in my screenshot i got above attached screen.

I have manage sprint permissions as well as am Jira Admin.

David,

I read the article which you have shared me but, no luck.

Not able to find the exact option on Jira Prod Instance 7.3.1.

Suggest me any other possibility on this server.

Is this a future sprint or an active sprint?

[Roja Gurram]

In backlog screen it doesn't shows like it is future or Active sprint.

Please see the above attached screenshots for your reference which i have shared earlier.

Let me know once.

Roja,

Since your sprints have dates, I think they have been started.  Please click on Active Sprints and see if they appear.  If they are there and you want to delete them, you'll have to complete them and then remove them using the sprint report.

This is what my backlog looks like because I have not started any sprints yet.

What is under Active Sprints (2nd menu option)?

[Roja Gurram]

David,

I checked sprint is present on Acrive sprints board.

And i have closed the issue like I mean to say sprint start date Apr -01-2020 and End date Apr-02-2020.

But still that cog icon is not available.

Please find the attached screenshots for your reference. Let me know whethet am i going in wrong way.

Anyhow, you are also using the Jira server so, try to check whether it is avilable for you or not ?

Thanks for your replies!!!

[david_hibler]

I am on JIRA Cloud.

I made a sample project on my instance and with an active sprint, I get the cog icon.

The only thing I can think of is to check your permissions for this project to make sure they didn't get altered somehow.

[Roja Gurram]

Hi David,

I have double checked the project permissions. Everything is fine.

Hi,

David tries to give the solution better but, it doesn't meet my Jira software requirement. what i was thinking is my Jira software version (7.3.1) doesn't support/have the delete option.
