Overview

This node operation deletes job artifacts from a specific job within a GitLab project. It is useful for automating cleanup of build artifacts generated by CI/CD jobs in GitLab projects, helping to manage storage and maintain project hygiene. For example, it can be used to delete artifacts from completed or failed jobs to free up space or enforce retention policies.

Use Case Examples

  1. Delete artifacts from a specific job in a GitLab project to free up storage.
  2. Automate cleanup of old job artifacts in CI/CD pipelines.
