How To Delete Multiple Files – In UiPath

Posted on by Sharath Raju

While automating business processes, we deal with a lot of files and might perform few activities on them like deleting, moving or renaming.

Here, for now, let’s see how to delete multiple files from a folder!!!

Array.ForEach(Directory.GetFiles(our_DirectoryPath),Sub(x) File.Delete(x))

Note:
Replace our_DirectoryPath with your desired folder path

Example

Implementation using UiPath :

Let us implement a project to delete multiple files from a given folder 🙂

Step 1:
Drag “Assign” activity into the designer panel and supply the “Folder Path” to it.
