How to delete Test Execution instance - Zephyr Scale

In Zephyr Permissions, I have set up a couple of users (including myself) to have the permission to delete Test Executions. (See image below)   But when viewing test cases/test executions, I...

    Thank you for this info.  I have verified this capability is that after starting a new execution on a test within a test cycle.

    With that said, this option doesn't appear to be available anywhere for a test that is NOT part of a test cycle.  Is that correct?  

    (Details: If I start a new test execution from within a Jira ticket for a test that isn't in a test cycle, it starts the new execution, but I don't see any capability to delete the old execution result).

Here is a ticket in JIRA that has zephyr test cases linked to it. 

(These zephyr test cases are created from JIRA as we test an issue... not part of a planned test cycle)

When I click the "start a new test execution" triangle above, I get to this screen:

 

And then brought to this screen.  I can mark the test as executed (note that it is not in a test cycle at this point). But I cannot delete a previous test execution of this test case from anywhere.

 

 

We can most likely work with this limitation, but I will need to highlight to stakeholders that this "delete test execution" capability is only allowed in certain test cases (those that are in a test cycle and have had a new test execution started). Before I do that, I wanted to get confirmation that I'm not missing some delete capability (before your original answer, I hadn't seen the trash can icon next to an execution result in the test cycle, so I wasn't seeing ANY capability to delete execution results).
