Hello i have a function that moves all files inside several subfolder into another folder. But i want to make a function that excludes a certaint folder and instead of moving all the files in that particular folder, instead delete all the files within it ( but still keep the folder) then for the other subfolder move them to designated destination

Hi @langsem

Does using the delete activity help you?

3

Yes, but shall i insert a if statement? saying if the subfolder contains this title then delete all files within it else move them?

4

Need a function that says if files are in folder “test” then delete them else proceed with else statement

You can use

Directory.GetFiles(selectFolder) To get the names

var.Equals(str)`

in the if statement
using delete and move to else.

see if that helps
otherwise try to better explain the condition of moving, I did not understand very well lol
