Is it possible to empty more than one folder by using one command "Empty folder"

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

 

Is it possible to empty the folders (more than one) by using one command?

I have a folder structure which has folders and subfolders. Out of it, if I want empty two sub-folders, I want to use empty folder command twice, instead is it possible to mention the two sub-folders path in a same command.

 

Thanks!

    No, the syntax is for a single folder to be emptied.  If, for whatever reason, you don't want to list out each one in an "Empty Folder" setting, you could do the following:

     

    1)  Separately add the folders you need emptied to a list

    2) For each %CurrentItem% in list

    a) Empty Folder %CurrentItem%

     

     

    Best of luck!
