  2. Expand SQL Server Agent, expand Jobs, right-click the job you want to modify, and then click Properties.

  3. In the Job Properties dialog box, delete the selected job step.

Using Transact-SQL

To delete a SQL Server Agent job step log

  2. On the Standard bar, click New Query.

  3. Copy and paste the following example into the query window and click Execute.

    @step_id = 2;  
GO

For more information, see sp_delete_jobsteplog (Transact-SQL).

Using SQL Server Management Objects

Use the DeleteJobStepLogs methods of the Job class by using a programming language that you choose, such as Visual Basic, Visual C#, or PowerShell. For more information, see SQL Server Management Objects (SMO).

-- Uses PowerShell to delete all job step log files that have ID values larger than 5.  
$srv = new-object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server("(local)")  
$jb = $srv.JobServer.Jobs["Test Job"]  
$jb.DeleteJobStepLogs(5)
