Jenkins does not delete those manifest files. Check your local system for other processes that might have deleted them.

Be sure that your controller does not allow jobs to run on the controller. If you allow jobs to run on the controller, then it is possible for a buggy job to delete things that it should not.

All the jobs are on Agent no jobs are running on controller. It’s a dedicated jenkins instance with no other process running.

My java binary is also deleted.
