How do I purge/clobber stashed files?

[red 888]

Jenkins docs seem ambiguous about this:

Stashed files are not otherwise available and are generally discarded at the end of the build.

Soooo "generally" means what? They should get discarded by default? Do I need to do something to have them discarded?

Because my stashed files aren't getting discarded. I run this in my job:

stash name: "myZip", includes: "${differentEveryTime}.zip"

And every time the job runs it keeps adding the new zip file to the "myZip" stash.

I couldn't find anything in the docs about how to control this. I want myZip to clobber everything previously or start empty each job run.

That seems like a bug to me if I've understood your phrasing correctly.

I don't expect the stash from one build (for example, build number 14) to be included in later builds (for example, build number 15).

Within a single build (for example, build number 14), I would initially assume (until proven otherwise) that multiple references to write to a stash of the same name would append to a single stash.

The problem was I wasn't cleaning up the workspaces of the streams. I thought their workspaces were destroyed automatically but they persist.
