Delete Files/Folders

This node supports the path flow variable to specify the files and folders to delete. To convert the created path column to a string column which is required by some nodes that have not been migrated yet you can use the Path to String node. For further information about file handling in general see the File Handling Guide.

This node deletes the files or folders at a specified location. The location may be a remote location. Folders will also be deleted if they still contain files.
