workspace not getting cleared before or after build.

[Ashish Yadav]

I am currently running Jenkins LTS v1.642.3 on CentOS 6. In my job configs, I am NOT seeing any section or task to clean the workspace before build or even as a Post-Build activity to clean workspace after build. Did this feature get removed somehow?

The git plugin has an "Additional Behaviour" called "Wipe out repository & force clone".  That is available if you're using git.

The Workspace Cleanup Plugin offers before build and after build deletion of the workspace.  Maybe that plugin is not installed?

Does the git "Wipe out repository & force clone” behavior only remove the repository or the entire workspace?

It removes the workspace.  That is, it removes the git repository (contained in the .git directory within the workspace) and the contents of the parent of the .git directory (which is what I would call the workspace).  It removes enough that it requires a clone and checkout as part of the next run of that job.
