Is it possible to have a Jenkins build not update build history?

Question

I'm using multi-branch pipelines.

Is it possible to have a multi-branch pipeline not update build history, or have a pipeline delete the history of it's run after it completes?

I have some runs I do not want to appear in the build history of a multi-branch job. I can delete runs manually, but I want to do this from inside a pipeline.

I want to conditionally have code that tells Jenkins "hey delete the build history of this build that just ran".

Is this possible?

EDIT

I was thinking of another possible way of achieving this. I can access hudson.model.Hudson outside the pipeline directive. If there are methods available that would allow you to list and discard specific builds I could call that before a job starts which would purge all old builds of my choosing.

Can I do something like this inside a multibranch pipeline? Jenkins.instance.getItemByFullName('JobName').builds.findAll { it.number > 10 && it.number < 1717 }.each { it.delete() }

I'm attempting to do this via a class, but I cannot figure out how to get access to builds

package com.util

@Grab(group='org.jvnet.hudson.main', module='hudson-core', version='2.2.1')
import hudson.model.Hudson

class reflect implements Serializable {
    def static purgeSpecificBuilds(name){
        def hi = Hudson.instance
        // This much I can get
        def job = hi.getItemByFullName(name)
        // But the object returned has no "builds" property
        job.builds.findAll { it.buildCause == "filter a specific build cause type"}.each { it.delete() }
    }
}
