Folder Content Delete Action
The Folder Content Delete Action node deletes all contents of one or more specified folders.
All files and subfolders inside the provided directories are removed recursively, while the specified root folder itself remains intact.
Input Parameters
Folder Path List of folder paths whose contents should be deleted.
Behavior
Deletes all files inside the folder
Deletes all subdirectories recursively
Keeps the root folder itself
Operates on the host running the stream (client or server)
Supports asynchronous execution
Typical Use Cases
cleaning temporary working directories
clearing cache folders
resetting watchfolders
preparing folders for new ingest or rendering jobs
post-delivery cleanup
Important Note
The deletion is permanent and bypasses any recycle bin or trash mechanism provided by the operating system. Only the contents of the folder are removed — the folder itself will still exist after execution.
Practical Tip
This node is useful when a workflow expects an existing directory but requires it to be empty before starting a new process (for example, watchfolders or render output directories).
