Automation Workshop includes the Delete Remote File Action that can remove files and folders from the remote server. The supported remote servers are: FTP, SFTP, FTPS, WebDAV, and Clouds—Google Cloud Storage, Amazon S3, DigitalOcean Spaces.
Removal of files can be initiated manually or automatically. For manually starting a workflow, we have a Desktop Shortcut, Tray Icon, or just a Run button in the main window. Automated starting of a Task can be achieved using Triggers.
