Our customer is using Zebra TC52 devices. Users take photos to document issues, but over time these photos accumulate and cause storage problems. Is it possible to automatically or remotely clean up this photo gallery through SOTI? If so, what methods would you recommend (e.g., script, SOTI policy, app-level solution, etc.)?
Hi Ismail,
It depends on whether your looking to simply delete, or also backup the data. To delete:
If you do want to save the data, file sync is also the answer as you can set it to download the contents to the server and then delete the contents on the device.
Hope that helps!
Hello Robert, thank you for your valuable support. Deleting the gallery is sufficient. No backup is needed. I'll look into how to do it with Java.
If all the images are in a single folder you can do this with wildcard and legacy scripting as well.
This script for example will delete all *.png files in a given folder.
del /sdcard/<folder>/*.png
You could use that concept within a Task Scheduler script set up to run every nightly.
Photo gallery can be tricky though as there can be multiple subfolders. If that is the case you may have to recursively iterate through the subfolders to clear things out as Robert has suggested with javascript.
You can also delete files based on their creation or modification date.
In this example, files older than 5 days are deleted.
#!/usr/bin/env js var dirPath = 'sdcard/Download'; var dir = new mobicontrol.io.File(dirPath);var today = new Date();var oldestDate = new Date(today.setDate(today.getDate() - 5));dir.listFiles().forEach(file => { if (file.lastModified < oldestDate) { file.delete(); } });Thank you for your response. del /sdcard/<folder>/*.png solved the problem.
