I recently ran out of space on my Jenkins server and one of the culprits was my workspaces directory.  It had many left over workspaces from jobs long ago that were renamed.

Is this a known issue or did we do something wrong?  I know about the workspace cleanup plugin, but it doesn't look as if it handles this issue (disclaimer -- I didn't try).

It is known missing feature :(
If you delete or rename a job it won't automatically rename/delete workspaces on slaves (and it's not easy to do because slaves aren't necessarily online when you do the operation).
The workspace cleanup plugin cannot cover this too.
I don't know if there is an issue already reported
