Deleting files and removing directories

Use the remove and remove-directory commands to delete files and remove directories. Directories can be removed even if they contain files or subdirectories.

Use the following CLI syntax to delete files and then remove directories:

    file
        — remove [url] string [client-tls-profile string] [direct-http] [force] [proxy string] 
        — remove-directory [url] string [force] [recursive] 

The following example removes the test1/test2/test3 directory.

[/file "cf3:\test1\test2"]
A:admin@node-2# list

Volume in drive cf3 on slot A is formatted as FAT32
