Deleting Redmine issue notes or comments is easy even though it isn’t clear on how to do so. The below steps and images describe how to do so.
- Open Redmine Issue:First login to Redmine, select the correct project, open the list of issues, and click on the issue with the notes you want to remove. Below is an example issue with numerous test notes added to the end of it.
- Edit Issue Note: In the example we will be removing note #13 from the list of notes for the example issue. Click on the edit button as shown in the image below.
- Remove Note Text: Now delete all of the contents of note #13 attached to the example issue as shown in the below image.
- View Issue Notes: Now that the note has been saved with no content it will no longer display in the list of notes attached to the issue as shown in the below image.
As you can see note #13 has been removed from the notes list attached to the example Redmine issue.
So it is really easy to remove notes from an issue even though there is not a delete issue note link or button. All you have to do is edit the note, remove all text from the note, and then save the note. The note will no longer show in the Redmine issue.
Is there a way to really “delete” issue note from database [other than using sql server interface ;]]?
Hello Tomasz,
When you remove every character from the comment you are editing it will actually remove that comment ID from the database. If you leave any spaces it could keep it in the database however if you do actually remove everything from the comment the row is actually deleted from the database.
Hope that helps.
Thanks.

Nice article, so easy that I didn’t realized it can be done this way!
Wasted some time on checking permission settings…
