Execute an artifact cleanup policy

Execute an artifact cleanup policy to simulate or immediately delete matched artifacts.

Manually execute

You can manually execute the artifact cleanup operation immediately.

Simulated execution

Tip: Simulated execution does not actually perform the cleanup operation.

1. In the left navigation bar, click DevOps Toolchain > Artifact Cleanup.

2. After selecting the artifact cleanup policy, click Actions > simulation execute. Preview the cleanup results in the pop-up window and close it to perform the execution operation.

Immediate execution
