Each job definition is associated with a job name. Each time you run a job, you create a job instance. If you run a job multiple times, you create multiple instances of the job based on that job definition. The latest instance is listed in the Saved Jobs view, and any earlier executions are listed in the Job History view.

You can delete a job instance from the Saved Jobs or Job History view so that it is no longer listed and you can no longer view its history. When you delete a job instance, the underlying job definition and all other job instances based on it are still available and are still listed.

From the Saved Jobs view, in addition to deleting the most recent execution, you can choose to delete all instances of the job based on the job definition, or delete the job definition itself and all instances. When you delete a job definition and all instances:
  • The underlying job definition and history of the job instances are removed.
  • All jobs instances based on the job definition are deleted.
  • The job is removed from the Saved Jobs and Job History views.

You cannot delete a job that is in Running, Queued, or Blocked status.

  1. In the Saved Jobs or Job History view, click next to the job.
  2. Click Delete.
  3. For a job in the Job History summary table, click OK to confirm the deletion. For a job in the Saved Jobs summary table, do one of the following:
