title: Remove git cache from Jenkins
body: <p>I'm trying to create a release from Maven, but I'm getting a <code>git tag already exists</code> error, even though I have deleted that tag from both my local machine and the remote repository.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20213557/maven-release-plugin-tag-already-exists-for-nonexistant-tag">This question</a> has the same issue, but for Bamboo rather than Jenkins. <a href="https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMKB/Git+cache+removal+in+Bamboo" rel="noreferrer">The solution</a> was to delete a file in Bamboo that caches the Git configuration:</p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;BAMBOO_HOME&gt;/xml-data/build-dir/_git-repositories-cache</code></p>
  
  <p>How can I do the same thing with Jenkins?</p>
