Delete file?

[dataflux]

Newbie user here, so excuse me if this has been answered before.

I can't seem to find an action that I can add to my script that will allow the deletion of a file? Is this possible?

The Copy Files action can be used to delete files (even recursively).

<snip from the help file - in the Copy tab page of the Copy File Action section>
Note: To delete files, check the 'Ignore non-existent or blank Source Folder' option, clear the Source Folder field, enter the folder to delete files from in the Dest Folder field, and check the 'Delete destination files...' option. Include and exclude options can also be entered to specify which files to delete.

Thanks. That works for me.

Hello,

I need to delete a single file whose absolute path is stored in a macro value. This does not seem to be possible with this approach. Is there a way to do this without having to store path and filename in two different macros?

Cheers

Ulf

Thanks, for the fast answer! I should have thought of this myself :)
