Jenkins: Is there any way to cleanup Jenkins workspace?

Question

How can I cleanup the workspace in Jenkins? I am using AccuRev as version control tool.

I created freestyle projects in Jenkins.

If you want to just remove one dir (or file) you can use Groovy and Manage Jenkins → Scripts Console run a script which removes it.

For example, you can look at the files with:

dh = new File('./bitnami/jenkins/jenkins_home/workspace/jobname/folder')
dh.eachFile {
  println(it)
}

And then, when you have the folder you want to delete in dh, you could simply append the next code:

dh.deleteDir()

And it will be deleted.

Note: The path shown in the example is for a Bitnami Jenkins installation, yours could be different.
