Hi,is it possible to delete the entire contents of a folder without deleting the folder itself using file mannager on devices with android 10.0
We are having mobicontrol version  2024.1.2.1046
We want to delete the contents of the folder located in the path /sdcard/pictures

Hi,

I used following legacy script earlier that delete all contect under the Camera section, you can use something similar by updating the path:

del %sdcard%\DCIM\Camera\*.*
 
for your case it would be as: 
del %sdcard%\Pictures\*.*
 
I hope it helps.

Just if you need something in JS (you can ofc remove the dependency of the creation date):

var days = 180;
purgeOldFiles('sdcard/Pictures');
 
mobicontrol.agent.checkIn();
//Cleanup files older than 180 days
function purgeOldFiles(dirPath) {
    var dir = new mobicontrol.io.File(dirPath);
    var today = new Date();
    var oldestDate = new Date(today.setDate(today.getDate() - days));
    dir.listFiles().forEach(file => {
        if (file.lastModified < oldestDate) {
            file.delete();
        }
    });
}
