Argument Folder to Delete Must be Folder

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by MuhammadP 9

When using variable as a folder I get the error Argument Folder to delete must be Folder. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

    Hi,

    since you used action 'Get subfolder in folder', that  gets you subfolders and stores them into list variable %Folders%.

    So, when you want to delete dome subfolder from that list you have to specify. For first subfolder you should write

     

    Folder to delete: %Folders[0]% and it will work.

     

    You can't pass just list variable %Folders%.

     

    Kind regards,

    Crash&Peace
