Hello All,
I am working on a script of moving files but i want to delete the files from that folder after 30 days. Any idea on how should i proceed ?

@utsav.patel - Are you planning to do this in Studio or StudioX?

[utsav.patel (rocky)]

@prasath17 I am planning to do in studioX

[prasath17 (Guru)]

@utsav.patel - here you go…

XAML Image

Condition Builder (If Condition)

Choose Last Modified Date

Choose Offset and Type -30 and Type is Days

Click + in the IF and choose advance Editor and add .tostring at the end if not it will throw an error…

Write Line Output

Before Delete

After Delete

Hope this helps…

@prasath17 thanks man!! can you post this into a .xaml process if you don`t mind

[prasath17 (Guru)]

@utsav.patel - Yes, I can post it…But have you tried from the screenshot which I already shared??

If yes, it is working? if not, what is the error you are facing??

[utsav.patel (rocky)]

I do not see all these activities in my studio pro like i cannot locate the condition builder you showed in image.

@utsav.patel - What version of the UiPath are you using??

@utsav.patel

I am planning to do in studioX

Hold on…But you said you want to do this in StudioX? why are you looking at in Studio Pro??

[utsav.patel (rocky)]

Sorry @prasath17 my license has expired for studio x and we upgraded to pro now.

[prasath17 (Guru)]

@utsav.patel - Please let me know what version of studio Pro you are using??

[utsav.patel (rocky)]

Sure! Version for my studio pro is 2020.10.4

[prasath17 (Guru)]

Thanks for letting me. If possible change this query category from StudioX to Studio…I will share the code in a minute

[utsav.patel (rocky)]

Thanks , appreciate for help

@utsav.patel - Here is the one line code, using Invoke code you can achieve it…

Code:

array.ForEach(Directory.GetFiles("YourFolderPath").Where(Function(x) New FileInfo(x).LastWriteTime.Date < Today.Date.AddDays(-30)).ToArray,Sub(x) File.Delete(x))

If are would like to proceed with regular method…take the below code and paste it in the For each and then use Delete activity…

Directory.GetFiles("YourFolderPath").Where(Function(x) New FileInfo(x).LastWriteTime.Date < Today.Date.AddDays(-30))
