How do I clear my Jenkins/Hudson build history?

Question

I recently updated the configuration of one of my hudson builds. The build history is out of sync. Is there a way to clear my build history?

Please and thank you

Answer 1

Use the script console (Manage Jenkins > Script Console) and something like this script to bulk delete a job's build history https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins-scripts/blob/master/scriptler/bulkDeleteBuilds.groovy

That script assumes you want to only delete a range of builds. To delete all builds for a given job, use this (tested):

// change this variable to match the name of the job whose builds you want to delete def jobName = "Your Job Name" def job = Jenkins.instance.getItem(jobName)  job.getBuilds().each { it.delete() } // uncomment these lines to reset the build number to 1: //job.nextBuildNumber = 1 //job.save() 

Answer 2

This answer is for Jenkins

1. Go to your Jenkins home page → Manage Jenkins → Script Console

   

2. Run the following script there. Change copy_folder to your project name

Code:

def jobName = "copy_folder" def job = Jenkins.instance.getItem(jobName) job.getBuilds().each { it.delete() } job.nextBuildNumber = 1 job.save()
