Clean-Up
The Clean-Up task type deletes files from Source that match the configured file filter rules.
A Clean-Up task permanently deletes files from Source that match the task's configured file filter rules. The task has no Target — it operates only on the Source location.
The Clean-Up task type has no additional properties of its own. Its behaviour is governed entirely by the Source configuration (which location to clean and which files to include) and by any On Completion steps configured to run afterwards.
Caution: Files deleted by a Clean-Up task are removed permanently. They are not moved to the Recycle Bin. Verify your Source and file filter configuration carefully before activating a Clean-Up task.
On Completion
After the clean-up step completes, On Completion steps run based on the configured condition:
- Always
- The action runs after every clean-up step, regardless of the outcome.
- All previous steps successful
- The action runs only if the clean-up step completed without errors.
- Any previous step produced an error
-
The action runs only if the clean-up step encountered an error.
Requires the task's Action on error setting to be Ignore and continue.
- No files were processed
- The action runs only if no files matched the filter rules (nothing was deleted).
