Use a Root Privileged Script Run the deletion process as part of a script executed by a privileged user.

Steps:

1. Create a script, e.g., /usr/local/bin/delete_dir.sh:

   #!/bin/bash rm -rf /path/to/directory

2. Grant execution permission:

   sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/delete_dir.sh

3. Allow Jenkins to execute it via sudo:

   sudo visudo

4. Add the line:

   jenkins ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/delete_dir.sh

5. Update the Jenkins pipeline stage:

   stage('Delete Directory') { steps { script { sh 'sudo /usr/local/bin/delete_dir.sh' } } }
