    File Sync - Remove Files From Hosted SOTI MobiControl Server

    Has anyone been successful in removing files from their MobiControl server that is hosted by SOTI in a method other than manually? I am using two file sync rules to ferry files between two devices. The files do not need to accumulate. They are sent, processed and removed on the receiving device. The first file sync rule moves the files correctly to the hosted server file store and deletes the files from the source once successfully uploaded. Works wonderfully. The second file sync rule copies the files to the destination device, but there is no method for removing the files from the hosted server file store within the rule setup as there was with the first rule due to the direction of file transmission (Server to device). I have already received the standard SOTI technical support response on this which is to go to Global Settings -> File System manager and manually remove the files. This means removing files one at a time from the assigned folder OR deleting the folder and then adding it back (dumps the whole folder contents when folder is deleted). I am canvasing this forum to see if anyone has come up with a neat workaround for the lack of functionality in the file sync rule setup. I would much prefer a method to handle this on a daily basis or per some sort of schedule than to have to manually remove files (time is money).  I have already tried creating a "post sync script" and it will not work. Scripts only function on the end devices and will not affect the hosted server. Please note: the server is hosted by SOTI. It is not a server I loaded MobiControl on that I have any access to whatsoever. I cannot create a batch file or script to perform this as I do not have that type of access to SOTI's Server.
