NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding suggestion.
From a question in answers:
We recently ran into a problem in which an employee left our company and we lost some documentation for a team. Our confluence instance is tied to AD, so his account was deactivated. I ended up going through the AD team to reactivate his account, reset his password, then log in as him in order to see his drafts (which in turned allowed us to save some other content he had started but not saved). Is there no way for a Confluence administrator to view and delete drafts for a specific user? That feature would be incredibly helpful.

[CONFCLOUD-35921] Administrators should be able to see and delete drafts from all users
This would be extremely useful. Have same situation as OP but reprovisioning the account in AD is hard to do (lots of hoops to jump through). Having this feature would help immensely as the team the former employee was in has lost documentation as a result.
Hey all 
Managing drafts in Confluence can be a huge pain, so we've built a really simple app to deal with this problem. Draft Cleaner allows you to delete all drafts for a site in a single click.
You can install the app here: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1233144/draft-cleaner
Please check it out and leave any feedback - we want to help make it as simple as possible to manage your drafts in Confluence.
Cheers!
it would be great to be able to delete stale drafts that have been left in draft state for X amount of time.
It sounds like people are suggesting administrators of a document storage system should be able to administer the document storage.
What a novel concept!
Voting up on this feature. We should have the ability from an admin view to see drafts and space auditing capabilities. Agreeing with Craig's comment above completely. ^
Hopefully this can be moved in the near future..... Auditing tools is a must!
So this feature request is 8 years old. Chances of this getting done? Hmmm...
It seems like a very reasonable ask too. Before deleting a space, it would be nice to know that there aren't any unsaved (i.e. published) changes.
This request is similar to these:
If you are reading this, please vote for the above, especially 71270.
The following are also similar, but have been closed due to lack of votes (yet still represent community interest in this type of feature):
I am unable to export the page to PDF because some of the drafts contain lucid chart diagrams - I would like to be able to delete old drafts not needed by anybody anymore.
And API endpoint to to this, please.
