How to manually delete a Job on Hudson

Question

Hudson is configured to retain last 5 builds only. But i see some old builds still present and can't delete them from UI. When i try to delete it does nothing.

Please suggest some manual way to clean such jobs.. Thanks

Go to Hudson_Home/jobs/<Job_Name>/builds. For each build folders will be present in the following format 2014-02-07_16-21-15. Delete the older/unwanted folders and go to Hudson Dashboard, Hudson >> Manage Hudson >> Reload Configuration from Disk
