Hi,

You can used get file in folder , for getting file from folder if you don,t know which folder contain file .

for that get file in folder action having include subfolder option you simply need to enable it its give file from subfolder.

You don't need to go inside those folders. You can just use Get files in folder -action.

Then that retrieves a list of all the files in those folders. After that just use Delete file(s) -action to delete all those files (it does not delete the folders, only the files)

Since you want to delete all the files in those folders then it can be done without a loop.
