How to delete an archived artifact in jenkins?

  1. I am using Jenkins with tomcat. I use jenkins cli from java class to create job and to build. I want to delete a archived artifact. How to accomplish this?

  2. Another question is, can we give a specific name to the build in jenkins (e.g) i want the build name like (buildNumber + someName). How to achieve this?

If you only want to delete one specific archived artifact of one build, run the following groovy script at "Manage Jenkins/Nodes//Script Console":

def project = Jenkins.get().getItemByFullName('<your-project-id>')
def jobs = project.getAllJobs()
def job = job[0]
def build = job.getBuildByNumber(42) // the number of your build
def manager = build.getArtifactManager()
def file = manager.root().child('the_file_you_want_to_del.ete')
println file.toURI()
// uncomment the next line if the above has returned the correct URI
//Util.deleteFile(new File(file.toURI()))

For everyone looking for another approach. If you are using the jenkins web interface and have administrator rights for it. You can run the following groovy script at "Manage Jenkins/Nodes/<master node>/Script Console".

def project = Jenkins.get().getItemByFullName('<your-project-id>')
def jobs = project.getAllJobs()

def total_size = 0

jobs.each{ job -> 
  def builds = job.getBuilds()
  builds.each{ build -> 
    def artifacts = build.artifacts
    artifacts.each{ artifact ->
      total_size += artifact.getFileSize()
      println "$artifact, ${artifact.getFileSize()}"
    }
    build.deleteArtifacts()
  } 
}

println "Total size: $total_size"

Kudos to @perja12 for creating the script.

The artifacts for a build by default are located in: [JENKINS_HOME]/jobs/[job_name]/builds/[$BUILD_ID]/archive/, go there and delete it. It won't delete the link to the artifact from the build page, though. (If you are not sure where your JENKINS_HOME is, go to http://[jenkins_server]/configure, you'll see Home directory near the top of the page).

To change the display name of a build automatically try Build Name Setter Plugin.

To change the display name via CLI:

java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://[server]/ set-build-display-name [job_name] [build#] [new_name]
