Automatically delete files after a designated time?

Post by mploug »

Hi,
Is it possible to add an action that automatically deletes files in a self-selected
folder after a designated time - let us say 24 ours?
What is the procedure in which case?

Thanks in advance.

Look at these examples:
[DEMO] Clear Temporary Folder.tsk
[DEMO] View Temp Files.tsk
Save the text of the task to a file and use menu Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.
Do not forget to enable the task after importing.

These tasks remove temporary files older than 7 days. You can set another timeout.
Attack to the task Scheduler or Cyclic trigger (suppose every 2 hours)

These tasks are included into installation package too. You can see them when you install RoboTask
