I am very new to Jenkins and Job DSL plugin. After a little research, I found how to create a job using DSL and now I am trying to delete a job using DSL. I know to disable a job using this following code:

//create new job
//freeStyleJob("MyJob1", closure = null);

job("MyJob1"){
  disabled(true);
}

It is working perfectly fine. But, I couldn't find any method to delete another job in jenkins.

Please help!

Thanks!

To delete a job, you have to set the "Action for removed jobs" option to "Delete" in the "Process Job DSLs" build step configuration. Then remove the job from your script and run the seed job.
