Delete File

Using the Delete File action you can delete all files from the publishing folder, or choose to delete specific files. This action is usually used in conjunction with other actions, for example, you might want to remove several additional files from the publishing folder before uploading the remaining files to a webserver. Wildcards enable you to delete all files in a specific format, for example, *.gif.

Delete Files

To Create a Delete Action:
