After deleting i can see the info message "Job has been erased by %USERNAME% X days ago" which is correct. But there is still an empty log file with the job id in its name and an empty folder for the artifacts on the filesystem. ### Steps to reproduce Go into your Pipelines and select a job which had artifacts. Remove them by using the provided button. Now ssh into the server and go to /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-ci/builds/YEAR_MONTH/PROJECTID/ and there should be a file with 0 b size with the name BUILDUMBER.log. Also go to /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/artifacts/YEAR_MONTH/PROJECTID there should be a folder named by the buildnumer without any contents in it. ### What is the current *bug* behavior? The log file and the artifact folder seems to be just emptied. ### What is the expected *correct* behavior? The log file should be deleted, not just emptied. And the artifacts folder also. ### Relevant logs and/or screenshots ### Output of checks (If you are reporting a bug on GitLab.com, write: This bug happens on GitLab.com) #### Results of GitLab environment info ``` System information System: Debian 8.7 Current User: git Using RVM: no Ruby Version: 2.3.3p222 Gem Version: 2.6.6 Bundler Version:1.13.7 Rake Version: 10.5.0 Redis Version: 3.2.5 Sidekiq Version:4.2.7 GitLab information Version: 8.17.2 Revision: bab14bd Directory: /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails DB Adapter: postgresql URL: https://TLD.de HTTP Clone URL: https://TLD.de/some-group/some-project.git SSH Clone URL: git@TLD.de:some-group/some-project.git Using LDAP: no Using Omniauth: no GitLab Shell Version: 4.1.1 Repository storage paths: - default: /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories Hooks: /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-shell/hooks/ Git: /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/git ``` #### Results of GitLab application Check ``` Checking GitLab Shell ...
