The Options tab of the Remove Folder Action allows you to configure the Action to either remove empty folders only or to delete folders including their subfolders and files.

OptionsDetails
Delete specified folder Removes the specified folder along with all files and subfolders within it:
  • Simply delete the folder and all its contents.
  • Attempt to delete the folder, and do nothing if it is not empty.
  • Try to delete the folder, and fail with an error if it is not empty.
Delete empty folders only Removes folders only if they contain no files:
  • Process all subfolders, and the specified folder as well.
  • Process subfolders only.

Use custom display nameRename this Action, to make a human-readable workflow that will help you to find, read, and make sense of the Task structure later.
Advanced fallback optionsManage the advanced fallback options—select which error types will lead to automatic execution of predefined workaround operations.
Log only errorsDo not log information and warning messages for this Action. It may be useful to keep the log file small and tidy on production systems.

Note

  • The 2nd and 3rd options remove soft and hard links (including symbolic links and junctions) without affecting their targets (the actual files and subfolders to which they point).
