I modified one build, https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/Solr/job/Solr-Maven-Snapshots-main/ to have an additional shell execution step with that snippet, which performs the cleanup via Docker as you suggested, albeit not with the Jenkins/groovy wrapper all around it. It ran successfully this morning. I'm not sure why Docker is involved for what looks like a simple file removal; might you explain?
