how can i delete bad labels in jira cloud next gen

[Jules]

WHen i imported tasks, Jira Cloud Next gen created a ton of bad labels. How can I clean them out? 

[david de vicente]

I still have labels which are not assigned present in the dropdown list. I would like to clean all of them... (etiquettes = labels in french)

However, i dont see labels not assigned in the filter dropdown in the kanban view for example.

Will be possible to clean labels manually in a next version ?

So the article shared above doesn’t work? I have not attempted associated with NG so unsure if there is something unique but would expect it to work. 

[david de vicente]

Unfortunately no. 

According to the article, an unused or unassigned label should remove itself. And this is not happening in the next gen version it seems..

I would suggest putting in a request with support and/or submit feedback.

@david de vicente  - Did you ever get a resolution to this?

[Will(y) De Vos]

We are also curious for the correct solution on this. Labels that are not used, or are not assigned to a ticket (any more) should not be suggested to the user. This can avoid errors.

Thanks for a solution for this bug.
