Project housekeeping tasks

Follow these RECOMMENDED practices to keep projects clean and well-organised:

  • Set artifact retention policies Keep only the latest, previous and active releases versions to minimise storage costs.

  • Pipeline run retention: Retain only recent, relevant runs for debugging. Set retention policies to delete pipeline runs after 30 days.

  • Delete obsolete branches. Remove inactive or redundant branches to remove clutter.

  • Clean agent pools: Clean stale directories and repositories on self-hosted agents weekly to avoid disk space issues.

  • Keep agents updated: Enable automatic updates for minor version changes and manually upgrade for major updates.
