DeleteABSFile

Description

Deletes blob files in the specified virtual directory.

• Ensure that you have a properly configured SFTP connection resource set up under the Resources folder.

• SFTP file names are typically case-sensitive; therefore, abc.JPG, abc.jpg, and ABC.jpg will be saved as different files. To ensure consistency, we recommend using lower-case file names and extensions: abc.jpg.

Configuring the DeleteABSFile Activity

The DeleteABSFile Configuration panel has four tabs: Configuration, Advanced, Input, and Output.
