Deleting issues
Only delete issues if they are not needed. If an issue is a duplicate, you can merge it with another issue. See Merging issues. If you want to keep a record of the issue but it does not need to be fixed, you may be able to add a workflow event to close it. See Adding workflow events to items.
Note: You cannot delete issues that are in public folders that you do not have permission to modify or are locked, or locked private folders.
