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

Answer 1

Here is how I fixed this issue in version 2.100 with Blue Ocean

• The only plugins I have installed are for bitbucket.
• I only have a single node.

ssh into my Jenkins box
cd ~/.jenkins (where I keep jenkins)
cd job//branches//builds
rm -rf

After this, you can optionally change the number in nextBuildNumber (I did this)

Finally, I restarted jenkins (brew services restart jenkins) This step will obviously be different depending how you manage and install Jenkins.
