Jenkins - Run some commands after jenkins job is deleted

I have Jenkins setup when a branch is deleted the associate jenkins job for that branch is also deleted. However, I want to add some commands (kubernetes clean up) after the branch is deleted.

I am trying to use this plugin here: https://github.com/jenkinsci/multibranch-action-triggers-plugin

I want to check two things:

How can I use the multibranch via jenkinsfile?

Have you guys already done this before? How?

Thank you

Your question could be much improved if you would pinpoint the source control system you use.

Anyhow, in a situation where you have multiple branches, it's better to use appropriate plugins for multibranch setups. There are a couple available for Git and Github, if that's your case. In this setup, there is a copy of Jenkinsfile in each branch (as with other files, the Jenkinsfile may be — but doesn't have to be — the same in all branches). These plugins usually create new "sub-jobs" for new branches (or pull requests) and remove the deleted ones as necessary.

Additionally, there is a somewhat unexplained use case where you have to do some actions on branch removal, for reasons that are unclear. Most cleanups are done after a job is finished, not after a branch is deleted. However, you may still implement that if your setup allows for the notifications on these events. Github, for example, can be configured to send a notification (webhook) to your Jenkins that can parse that notification and do something in the case. The way to do that is outlined in this answer.
