My Deployment Retention Policy does not work

I have the following Deployment Retention Policy:

And the following “open” deployments.

Deployments

I had expected the cancelled deployments to have been deleted given my policy of one day and the deployments being eight and nine days old.

When did you adjust the deployment retention settings?

New settings will only start to affect deployments that are created or modified after the retention policy is updated. If those deployments were created before you changed the deployment retention settings, it would make sense that they haven’t been deleted.

Amy,

Thanks. That sort of makes sense but if you have lots of stale deployments, there isn’t a way of deleting them in bulk - an option to apply the policy to all (existing) deployments. It would also be great to simplify the method of deleting a deploy but having it here:

Could you pass this on to the Product Team?

Great idea. We’re tracking a similar suggestion here: Feature Request: Delete multiple projects at once

I shared your feedback with the team, but feel free to comment on that feedback thread if there’s anything else you want to add :smiley:
