Delete files from UNC path

Hey Oleg,

A folder with *.mxf files needs daily cleaning. The folder is a UNC path, I have write permissions (because I can delete files by hand). "Search for files" is set to at least 1 day old or older.

As you can see, I have a lot of files, older than 1 day. However, Robotask doesn't "find" anything, the {LIST} variable is empty. As said, I have modify permissions. What can this be?

Have you checked the value in the Path1 variable?

Absolutely:

Path1=\\10.20.180.42\d$\Audisi\ONE\Temp\Linker.194

When I browse it manually , I can reach it succesfully

another question:
Where are you using this task: in the RoboTask application in your user session or in the RoboTask system service?
Pay attention that system service doesn't have access to network shares by default. You must login the SYSTEM session first.
Use the action Login to network share or NET.EXE system utility

I tested UNC folder name in my example it works without problem.
