To delete a folder and all of its contents including subdirectories, you
can use the STAF FS service's DELETE ENTRY request with the RECURSE
option. For example:
STAF machine FS DELETE ENTRY /tmp/myfiles RECURSE CONFIRM
However, this won't delete any read-only files.
So, you could either change the permissions of any read-only files
contained within the directory so that they are not read only (e.g. using
a STAF PROCESS START request to run an OS command like chmod, etc) before
using the STAF FS DELETE request.
Or, you could run an OS command that allows you to delete read-only files.
For example, on Unix machines like Linux, you could use the "rm -Rf"
command with the Recursive and Force options to remove a directory and all
of its contents including subdirectories and read-only files. For
example:
STAF machine PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND "rm -Rf /tmp/myfiles"
RETURNSTDOUT STDERRTOSTDOUT WAIT
