I have lost all my configured jobs on an upgrade in the past. As it's a virtual 
machine, I would suggest taking a snapshot before any upgrade, so you should be 
easily able to revert.

As you probably don't have time to be chasing regular upgrades and 
troubleshooting any breakages, I would suggest locating the latest LTS release 
and upgrading to that.

Bat,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I neglected to mention that.  We have about 35-40 
projects of which nearly all are doing nightly builds and also developers are 
doing builds several times during the day.
It appears to me that no one has set the "Delete Old Builds" option on any of 
the projects and no one has pruned any of the projects of the builds.  Even 
upon a cursory glance in one of the projects I am seeing over 150 builds.  Each 
projects results in at least 300-400MBs of data being created.
Just an FYI, I am running Jenkins 1.522.  Would it behoove me to upgrade to 
1.553?  And if so, can I do this without it disrupting production builds?
Thanks.
Kerry

Hi,
You didn't say how many jobs you have in your installation. Though 80GB still 
seems to me it's generally not worth spending engineering time to look into it, 
is agree it could be seen as weird if you only have about 3 jobs.

Anyway, before acting, I guess you should analyze more what's actually eating 
space. Is it each job? A lot of builds? (For the latter maybe see the 
configuration slicing plugin to modify your while installation in one go).

All,
Apologies for the neophyte question. I've searched through the archives and 
cannot find a definitive answer for our issue.
We have over 80 GBs of disk space in use by the Jenkins server (not a large 
virtual machine to begin with), and though we have been deleting projects and 
builds from the main page, it seems there are still a lot of archived builds 
remaining on the system.
I am reluctant to remove them manually, but am not as familiar with the web 
interface to do this without damaging production projects and builds.
My / (root) partition on my Linux Jenkins box is now 95% full or 80+ GBs in 
size (of a 94 GB partition).
I see over 35 GBs taken up by /var/lib/jenkins and over 25 GBs is taken up by 
/releases.  That is 3/4s of my root partition used by Jenkins alone.
What is the quickest and easiest way to remove older builds from the archive?  
Again, the web interface does not seem to be doing the trick or I am missing 
something.
And apologies for the dumb question, but I have lost over half my staff and 
have had to take on many of my employees' duties.
