Using Script Console   In case the jobs are grouped it s possible to either give it a full name with forward slashes    getItemByFullName  folder name job name    job getBuilds   each   it delete     job nextBuildNumber   1 job save     or traverse the hierarchy like this   def folder   Jenkins instance getItem  folder name   def job   folder getItem  job name   job getBuilds   each   it delete     job nextBuildNumber   1 job save

You could modify the project configuration temporarily to save only the last 1 build  reload the configuration  which should trash the old builds   then change the configuration setting again to your desired value

Here is another option  delete the builds with cURL     curl -X POST http   jenkins-host tld 8080 jenkins job myJob  1-56  doDeleteAll   The above deletes build  1 to  56 for job myJob   If authentication is enabled on the Jenkins instance  a user name and API token must be provided like this     curl -u userName apiToken -X POST http   jenkins-host tld 8080 jenkins job myJob  1-56  doDeleteAll   The API token must be fetched from the  me configure page in Jenkins  Just click on the  Show API Token     button to display both the user name and the API token   Edit  one might have to replace doDeleteAll by doDelete in the URLs above to make this work  depending on the configuration or the version of Jenkins used

Deleting directly from file system is not safe  You can run the below script to delete all builds from all jobs   recursively     def numberOfBuildsToKeep   10 Jenkins instance getAllItems AbstractItem class  each     if  it class toString       class com cloudbees hudson plugins folder Folder   amp  amp  it class toString       class org jenkinsci plugins workflow multibranch WorkflowMultiBranchProject         println it name     builds   it getBuilds       for int i   numberOfBuildsToKeep  i  lt  builds size    i              builds get i  delete         println  Deleted    builds get i

If you click Manage Hudson   Reload Configuration From Disk  Hudson will reload all the build history data   If the data on disk is messed up  you ll need to go to your  HUDSON HOME  jobs  lt projectname  directory and restore the build directories as they re supposed to be   Then reload config data   If you re simply asking how to remove all build history  you can just delete the builds one by one via the UI if there are just a few  or go to the  HUDSON HOME  jobs  lt projectname  directory and delete all the subdirectories there -- they correspond to the builds  Afterwards restart the service for the changes to take effect

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
