Delete File

Using the Delete File action you can delete all files from the publishing folder, or choose to delete specific files. This action is usually used in conjunction with other actions, for example, you might want to remove several additional files from the publishing folder before uploading the remaining files to a webserver. Wildcards enable you to delete all files in a specific format, for example, *.gif.

To Create a Delete Action:

1. Open the publishing profile and select the Actions tab.
2. Select the Delete Files action.
3. Use wildcards to identify the type of files you want to delete, or choose All output in publishing folder.
4. Choose OK. The action is added to the Before Publishing list. To move the action to the After Publish list select the action and choose the Move Down arrow. Save the changes to the profile.
