Delete Document Directory

Description

Delete an existing directory from within PlaidCloud Document.

Folder to Delete

First, select the appropriate account from the dropdown menu.

Next, press the Browse button to select the directory to delete.

Note

A folder that isn’t there is never an error. The step does nothing, and finishes with a warning naming the path when the storage reports the folder missing.

Delete Only the Files

To clear a folder but keep it, check Delete only the files in it, leaving its folders (files_only). The Which Files options then narrow what is deleted.

• Delete only the files in it, leaving its folders (files_only) — delete the files in the folder and leave the folder and its subfolders in place.
• Also the files below its subfolders (include_subdirs) — with files_only, also delete the files in every subfolder below it.
• File Name Pattern (file_name_filter) — only files whose name matches. Pattern Type is Wildcard or Regular expression (type), and Match case sets case_sensitive.
• Folder Name Pattern (folder_name_filter) — only files in folders whose names match, in the same form; every folder on the way down must match.
• Extensions (extensions) — only files with one of these extensions, without the dot. Match the extension’s case (extensions_case_sensitive) matches them with case.
• Include hidden files (a name starting with a dot) (include_hidden_files) and Include hidden folders and what is below them (include_hidden_folders) — clear either to leave out files or folders whose name starts with a dot.

When no files are found, including when the folder is missing, the step does nothing and finishes with a warning naming the path.
