To clean up (delete) Release Bundles (v1 & v2) from Distribution Edge nodes, go to Distribution > Release Bundles and select the Received tab.
Select one of the tabs in the Cleanup Candidates window (By Days or By Versions).
Note
The two tabs of the Cleanup Report provide you with the same functionality for the purpose of cleaning up the Release Bundles. You can choose to work in either tab depending on your preference: search for Release Bundles according to the number of days that the Release Bundle has been released (time) or according to the version of the release bundle.
You can also search for a specific Release Bundle using the name or a wildcard + name in the search field
In the Name column, select the checkboxes of the Release Bundles you wish to delete.
Note
You will only be able to select the checkboxes of Release Bundles that are marked Don't Keep. Items marked for keeping will appear grayed-out.
Click Continue.
Any Release Bundles you delete through the UI cannot be retrieved. This operation is permanent and cannot be undone. Therefore, you will now need to verify your selection, and confirm the deletion by clicking Delete in the Confirm Release Bundle Deletion popup.
Note
Sometimes simply selecting a Release Bundle for deletion - even if it meets the deletion criteria - does not always mean the Release Bundle will be deleted. Because this operation is asynchronous, there might be situations where items you selected to delete are no longer available or cannot be deleted for other reasons.
In this case, a Deletion Failure window will be displayed instead. You will need to go back to the list of Release Bundles and clear the selection of those that cannot be deleted.
Once your selection is approved and confirmed, the deletion process will begin, and you will receive a notification that the process has begun.
Once the deletion process is completed, you can view the results of your actions in the Cleanup History tab. As explained above, this operation is asynchronous, and may take some time depending on the amount of bundles and artifacts that are being deleted.
Note
If an artifact is included in more than one Release Bundle, when you delete a Release Bundle that contains that artifact, the artifact will remain via the remaining Release Bundle.
Best Practices
For the best performance of the clean-up process, it is recommended to bulk Release Bundles into smaller groups and to delete a group at a time.
