Automation Workshop includes the Clear Folder Action that empties the contents of a folder. It ensures that the target folder is left empty (or with subfolders only) before proceeding with next file operations in a workflow. In contrast, the Remove Folder deletes the folder along with all its contents.
Features & highlights
- Ensures the specified folder is empty by deleting all its contents, including files and subfolders.
- Ensures the specified folder is cleared of files, leaving subfolders and their contents intact.
- Deletes all files, directories, and subdirectories in a folder—effortlessly erases everything, including read-only files and folders.
- Alternatively, the Ensure Folder Action ensures a folder exists and is empty by clearing it when necessary or creating a new one when required.
