You can delete jobs from the SAP system. These jobs may no longer be required and may occupy a lot of space on the system. Jobs can be deleted in the following two ways:

◉ Single Job
◉ Multiple Jobs

Follow these steps to delete a single job:

Step 1 - Use transaction code - SM37.

Step 2 - Use * in the Job Name column and select the status to see all the jobs created by this user. Also enter the date range as per the requirement and then Execute.

Step 6 - Mention the status of Jobs to be deleted and the time period of deletion.

Step 7 - Specify Commit - Commit value is proportional to program performance. If the commit value is high, then job deletion will run faster. Recommended value is >= 1000.

Step 8 - Check Test run to simulate the deletion and this way jobs will not be deleted. When you are sure, uncheck the Test run and press Execute.
