How to stop an unstoppable zombie job on Jenkins without restarting the server?

Question

Our Jenkins server has a job that has been running for three days, but is not doing anything. Clicking the little X in the corner does nothing, and the console output log do

In case you got a Multibranch Pipeline-job (and you are a Jenkins-admin), use in the Jenkins Script Console this script:

Jenkins.instance
.getItemByFullName("")
.getBranch("")
.getBuildByNumber()
.finish(hudson.model.Result.ABORTED, new java.io.IOException("Aborting build"));

From https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-43020

If you aren't sure what the full name (path) of the job is, you may use the following snippet to list the full name of all items:

  Jenkins.instance.getAllItems(AbstractItem.class).each {
    println(it.fullName)
  };
