Delete Folders
Description
Delete Folders removes one or more folders along with all their contents from the file system. Use this step when your workflow needs to clean up entire directory structures — for example, removing temporary working directories after processing completes or clearing output folders before a new run. The step can accept folder paths from a previous step's fields or from a static list, and you can control whether the workflow fails if a folder cannot be deleted.
Note: The Delete files step must be preceded by at least one step that will generate row(s).
