So I have been asked to create a job on a Jenkins system that is on the university servers. The problem is I was asked to create it in a specific folder. However I accidentally created in the root folder. Is there a way to move the job from the root to the specific folder or do I have to delete it and create a new one?

There is a move option on the GUI: Stand on the little triangle near the job you want to move/copy/delete, and on the popup menu - choose the wanted operation. On move you can move to another folder. But, There is also an open issue about this (opened on 2016): https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-35093 I had to restart Jenkins after doing it to a job with some history.

So maybe re-create/copy and delete is a better solution (but no history is saved).

Go to your job's configuration page and from 'Advanced Project Options' check 'Use custom workspace'. Enter the path of the directory where you want the files to be created.
