Using Variables in Conditions
You can use variables in the "Folder to empty" parameter by clicking on the {x} icon. This allows you to dynamically specify which folder to empty based on previously defined variables in your workflow. For example, you might use a variable that contains a path determined at runtime.
Notes
Ensure that the specified folder exists before executing this command, otherwise an error will occur.
This operation cannot be undone, so use with caution as all files and subfolders will be permanently deleted.
The command requires appropriate permissions to delete content from the specified folder.
If any files in the folder are currently in use by other processes, the command may fail to delete them.
Consider implementing error handling to manage situations where files cannot be deleted.
