I need to delete a file that is located in a windows directory within a workflow. I was thinking about running a vb script but not sure if that is the best way.
I believe that would be the best method for deleting a file in a windows directory. The only issue is permissions to delete the file. Please check this and have workflow possibly running under a service account that would have access to that directory. Also, prior to deleting, you should include a condition to check if the directory exist before deleting the file.
I could use some help with the vb code. could you help
I am needing some help with the vb code to delete this file.
I think you would need to do it in a script activity. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.file.delete%28v=vs.110%29.aspx
