-----------------------------------
Encountering same issue.
Using version 1.459 of jenkins on windows 2008 r2 plateform.
> Max # of builds to keep not deleting old builds
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JENKINS-13039
> URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-13039
> Project: Jenkins
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: current
> Reporter: allenservedio
>
> Setting the "Max # of builds to keep" for a job does not cause old builds to
> be discarded. I set this as Major as this will lead to the build system dying
> after running out of disk space.
> I have found a work around here:
> http://groups.google.com/group/jenkinsci-users/browse_thread/thread/5573bee99bc2c42d
> I created a job in my Jenkins instance to run the following groovy script (as
> a "system" groovy script - not sure if that matters...) - this forces the old
> builds to be discarded per what I have defined in the config:
> {code}
> import hudson.model.*
> for(job in Hudson.instance.items) {
> job.logRotate()
> }
> {code}
