[Feature Request] Cannot Remove Build History

[akumaburn]

Currently it is possible to delete build logs, but not the builds themselves.

As far as I can tell there is no way to delete build history and start fresh other than deleting a Repo completely from GitHub and creating a new Repo with the same name but this results in losing commit history on source control, renaming does not work.

I'd also like to delete my old builds. Aside from the fact that they clutter the UI, I don't see, why travis needs to keep a complete history of my github commits, even if the branches and/or commits have long since been deleted.

I also wish there where such an function, there are a'lot of old trash which looks really ugly. Anyway, they also keep stuff from Deleted branches... very messy.

This would be extremely useful for those times when you have a contributor on a OSS project who opens a PR with a branch name that contains profanity & you want to remove that from the build history.

Please don't close this.

[MikeGitb]

Could we please have some official answer to this request instead of just closing it without a comment?

This stale bot seems pretty useless to me.

[simonwep]

Would be fantastic. Anyway, basically this isn't such a difficult feature request so it's odd that they haven't implemented it yet. Also there are alot of people who would appreciate such a feature.

Hey, why can't users delete their Travis CI build? I think its rather backward that you guys havent implemented this feature, I cant believe I have to delete an entire repo just to get a fresh build. Tsk tsk tsk

[tmonseigne]

I wan't to delete old builds (My first time with travis I have 40 failed build because I try some stuff with yml

In 2013, someone closed the exact same feature request because it wasn't on the road map. Here are the extreme that people are going to to delete an entry in build history- destroying their travis repo association & the corresponding github repo before recreating from scratch.

For me I had to turn of the auto building of pull requests. If I do a check in & garbage is created in the build history, that is my fault. But when a pull request happens and garbage is created in the build history, that is travis collaborating with pull request randos to do a denial of service on my travis account.

If we could hide builds for PRs and branches that don't exist anymore, that would help if actual deletion is somehow impossible.

I totally don't understand why this is not on the roadmap. You would expect that you should be able to delete the builds you created explicitly or implicitly via commits.
The workaround with deleting and recreating your GitHub repo looks to me as if I would need to reimage my computer and restore all from a backup every time when I need to delete a file.

[Tony-Ndichu]

I can't believe this still hasn't been implemented yet, its 2019 2020 guys

[simonwep]

Any updates @joshk or considerations regarding adding it to the roadmap?

[berendt]

Too bad that this feature is still missing. We would like to be able to remove all information from repositories that we no longer use on Travis.

[cyberium]

Not yet implemented in 2020 :/

[willzhang]

Not yet implemented in 2020.2.12

[vaporyhumo]

I would love to see this too.

[Paulmburu]

am really longing for this

[edwrodrig]

Why this is not implemented?

[weidi97]

I really need this feature!

Ya'll should check out GitHub actions, they're way better than using a third-party service and you can actually clear logs / remove workflows there. I started migrating all my projects to Actions and it works really well.

[berendt]

@simonwep Confirmed. We are in the final stages of migrating everything from Travis CI to GitHub Actions.

The date of this issue is Dec 12, 2017, and in all that time... not even a hint of an official answer.

It's interesting that there are many guys busy with their own jobs that find the time to answer in a couple of days max to every issues in their OOS projects (me included).

Even more interesting is that we don't run a business out of our projects. That makes me think...

Thank you @simonwep for the suggestion! The migration starts now ;)

There seems to be an inverse relationship between making money and caring about users if the industry is anything to go by..

How would it happen that this is still not solved in 2022?

[ddnexus]

2024! 🤣🤣🤣
