Delete File

Description

Permanently deletes a remote file.

Prerequisites

Create and test a FTP connection with access to the remote paths used by the activity. Paths identify locations on that server, not on the workflow host.

Shared settings

Select Connection Name. Use Process Data for dynamic path values. Configure execution control and On Error as required.

Inputs

Property	Description
Remote Path	Required full path of the file to delete.
Ignore If Not Exists	Return successfully for a missing file. Default: False.

Outputs

Deleted is True when the file was deleted, or False when it was absent and Ignore If Not Exists was enabled. File Path returns the requested path. Other failures use On Error.

Behavior

The activity does not move the file to a recycle bin.

Example

Set Remote Path to /archive/processed.csv. Enable Ignore If Not Exists when repeated cleanup of an already-removed file should succeed.
