How to delete azure artifact symbol packages

Question

I have created a local feed for NuGet packages on our Azure DevOps Service (not Server!).

I use a Pipeline to generate automatically the NuGet packages and use a "Index sources and publish symbols"-Task to publish the Symbols to "Symbol Server in this organization/collection (require azure artifacts)".

I know how to delete old NuGet packages from artifacts (space requirement 0,22 GB), but obviously the symbol packages are not deleted with them (space requiremend 2,49 GB) (local created on my PC both need around 220 MB / 250 MB).

My Question is, is there any way to delete published NuGet Symbol Packages from Azure Artifacts by hand?

Kind regards

edit: deleted old published packages from azure artifacts feed, reduces space consumption of the packages itself, but not of the symbols.

Solution: Deleting old Runs of the Pipeline frees the Space within the next 24 hours.

Answer 1

I found this here:

Q: What's the retention policy for the symbols stored in the Azure Pipelines symbol server?

A: Symbols have the same retention as the build. When you delete a build, you also delete the symbols that the build produced.

Maybe it is worth to check.

Answer 2

The document mentioned by Krzysztof Madej says When you delete a build, you also delete the symbols that the build produced. So you can have a try deleting the build to see if the symbols is deleted with the buid.
