delete
Full path: /system/filesystem/delete
This function deletes a file from the path. When invoked from a simple execution step, this function deletes one file at a time. To delete multiple files with FlowForce, enclose the step which calls the delete function inside a For each step, as illustrated in the Copy Files example.
| Note: | It is not possible for FlowForce to confirm directly from the delete function whether a file has been deleted. All FlowForce can do is get a response from the operating system that it is executing a delete command. If the job has subsequent steps that depend upon the deleted file, you will need to check explicitly whether the file still exists. You can you use the list-files function to check that. |
