Delete a Test Folder when you no longer need that part of the repository. Deleting a folder also removes its subfolders from the active tree, so review the full folder structure before confirming.
Before you delete
Item | Effect |
Selected folder and subfolders | Removed from the active repository. Deleted Test Folders can be restored through the Recycle Bin. |
Test Case links in those folders | Removed from the active folders. The Test Case records themselves are not deleted by this action. |
Test Runs for those folders | Marked deleted and no longer shown as active runs in that folder context. |
You need Jira space access and the configured Vansah permission to delete Test Folders. Being the author does not replace every backend access check. If Delete is unavailable, ask your administrator to review the permission.
A Test Plan Folder is a different item. See Organize Test Plans with Folders if you want to remove a folder that groups plans.
Delete the folder
Open Vansah in the Jira space and select Test Cases.
Expand the repository tree and locate the folder. Check its name, path, and subfolders.
Open the folder’s more options menu and select Delete.
Read the confirmation. Select Delete only when the selected folder is correct.
Verify that the folder and its subfolders no longer appear in the active tree.
The screenshots show an older layout of the folder menu and confirmation.
Restore a deleted folder
See Restore Deleted Items from the Vansah Recycle Bin. After restoring, check the folder structure, case links, and required runs before resuming testing.
If deletion returns an error, refresh the repository before trying again. Some changes may already have saved.
