Deleting Jenkins jobs through GUI does not delete their workspaces in slaves

Question

I recently deleted 2 job from Jenkins (via GUI). When I log into slaves afterwards I still see workspace of those 2 jobs lying around. Is this behavior normal?

Notes:

Answer 1

I have just written a script that can be scheduled periodically to clean unused workspace. It will go through all of the Jenkins slaves and check if the directories under the workspace are already deleted in Jenkins master.
