How to: Delete a Completed Build
Team Foundation Build uses build definitions to configure builds for solutions and files in a team project. The completed builds are listed in Build Explorer and can be managed using the included menu options. For more information, see Understanding the Team Foundation Build Explorer.
Required Permissions
To complete this task, you must have Administer a build permission set to Allow. If the build that is deleted has test results associated with it, you must have Publish test results permission set to Allow. Also, the application-tier service account and the Team Foundation Build service account must have read/write permissions to the build drop location. For more information, see Team Foundation Server Permissions.
