Reset and delete all data from your cloud site
This article applies to:
Cloud versions of Confluence, Jira (Jira Software, Jira Service Management, Jira Work Management, Jira Product Discovery) and Opsgenie that are in either Standard, Premium or Enterprise licensing tiers.
This article doesn't apply to:
Bitbucket, Trello, Statuspage, Point A products, or any user management system like Atlassian Access
Before you begin to delete data
If you need to reset your site multiple times as part of a Server-to-cloud migration, Atlassian recommends you to setup Sandboxes for testing. For more details:
Once you delete a cloud product, all data and apps associated are deleted after a grace period of 14 days (for trial sites) or 60 days (for paid subscription sites) after cancellation. Your site data cannot be recovered after it's deleted. Any settings will be immediately removed, including:
RDS in Atlassian's cloud
For more details, refer to the section How do I cancel subscription on our public documentation. However, if you wish to proceed and delete a specific product immediately, please follow the sections below.
Note : This does not affect user management or your users' Atlassian accounts; they will not be deleted through this process.
We recommend creating a Confluence site backup or Jira site backup before resetting your products to avoid accidental data loss. You can find more information about how we store and manage your data on our data storage FAQs.
Verify Billing Engine
The functionality and interface for each billing experience are different. Your admin roles also impact how and where you manage your subscriptions. As a billing contact on the original experience, your subscriptions are managed through my.atlassian.com. If you’re a billing admin with products are on the improved experience, they’re now managed through a new interface at admin.atlassian.com/billing
In the original billing experience, the first option on the left is Overview.
In the improved billing experience, the first option on the left is Subscriptions.
