/var/jobs/ isn't a directory that HTCondor writes to (at least in its 
out-of-the-box configuration). A normal system uses 
/var/lib/condor/execute and /var/lib/condor/spool, and is usually pretty 
good about tidying up after itself.

What sort of directory structure are you seeing under /var/jobs/ ?

Also, are you looking here at the node where the jobs are submitted, or 
one of the nodes where jobs are executed?
