@jjomier Have you verified that the cleanup jobs are running? If you aren't using Docker, you should make sure the jobs are scheduled with php artisan schedule:work.

[williamjallen]

Closing due to lack of response. Other production systems I'm aware of appear to be cleaning up builds as expected.

[jjomier]

@williamjallen sorry just saw this.

I wasn't aware that php artisan schedule:work should be used. Does that mean that this command should be added to a crontab ?

[williamjallen]

@jjomier php artisan schedule:work runs the tasks according to a schedule, so all you need to do is define a service which runs it in the background continuously.

[jjomier]

Thanks for the input. That was probably the issue. Apparently it's recommend to run this on the server:
* * * * * cd /pathto/CDash && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

We might want to add this in the documentation (or reference to Laravel doc maybe)
