How to stop Maven/Artifactory from keeping Snapshots with timestamps

Question

Due to disk space considerations I\'d like to only ever keep one version of any snapshot in my repository. Rather than keeping multiple versions with timestamp suffixes

Answer 1

Artifactory can clean up old unique snapshots. However, we have found unique snapshots to be non-useful for the purpose of tracking down dependencies or rolling-back to a specific version. There are better alternatives for doing this, which are cleaner and more reliable. That is why Artifactory defaults to prefer non-unique snapshots, and this policy can be centrally controlled (which is unique to Artifactory). You can read more about this, as well as the auto-cleanup feature here.
