## zowe › zos-jobs › delete › old-jobs

Delete (purge) jobs in OUTPUT status. Defaults to deleting all jobs owned by your user ID that are in output status.

#### Usage

zowe zos-jobs delete old-jobs [options]

#### Options

- `--prefix` | `-p` (string)

  - Only delete jobs with job names that match this prefix. Defaults to deleting all jobs owned by your user ID that are in output status.

- `--max-concurrent-requests` | `--mcr` (number)

  - Specifies the maximum number of concurrent z/OSMF REST API requests to delete jobs. Increasing the value makes the command run faster. However, increasing the value increases resource consumption on z/OS and can be prone to errors caused by making too many concurrent requests. When you specify 0, Zowe CLI attempts to delete all jobs at once without a maximum number of concurrent requests.

    Default value: 1

- `--modify-version` (string)

  - Using this option to set X-IBM-Job-Modify-Version to "1.0" will make the delete job API asynchronous. Otherwise, it will be synchronous by default.

    Default value: 2.0

#### Zosmf Connection Options

- `--host` | `-H` (string)

  - The z/OSMF server host name.

- `--password` | `--pass` | `--pw` (string)

- `--reject-unauthorized` | `--ru` (boolean)

  - Reject self-signed certificates.

    Default value: true

- `--base-path` | `--bp` (string)

  - The base path for your API mediation layer instance. Specify this option to prepend the base path to all z/OSMF resources when making REST requests. Do not specify this option if you are not using an API mediation layer.

- `--protocol` (string)

  - The name of a (base) profile to load for this command execution.

#### Base Connection Options
