  The typical ll alias for the ls command doesn't include the ls -a switch to display hidden files. There may be "hidden" files or files deeper in the directory tree owned by another user that cause the permission denied error. find /var/lib/jenkins/workspace -ls might be convenienyt to list all files

  Check the permission of the directory as well. To delete files from a directory, you need to have write access for the directory itself (in your case, you need to be able to write the /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/ directory).
