Clearing a hung build in TeamCity

We recently had a build that was hung on TeamCity.  When we cancelled it, the build just stayed around saying it was cancelling.  After googling for the solution, I couldn’t find one.  So this is what I did to clear it.

Go into team city and find the directory and machine that the build is on (assuming you’re using multiple build agents).  It will be something like C:\TeamCity\buildAgent\work\dc426554e8b0f33.   Stop the Build Agent on that machine,

1. net stop “TeamCity Build Agent Service”

2. Delete the offending dir.

3. net start “TeamCity Build Agent Service”

Then go to the webserver machine and do this;

1. net stop “TeamCity Web Server”

2. net start “TeamCity Web Server”

I hope this helps someone.
