- Drag a “removeFile” step from the toolbox
- Connect the dots between the start and “removeFile” step
- Click on the “removeFile” step to configure its “Settings” properties. Provide a name to the step.
- Click on the “removeFile” step to configure its “Advanced” properties. Provide a file path info to remove.
- The “Logging” setting configuration is necessary for documentation and also measure the workflow progress and the percent complete. This is acheived by configuring the step state and percent fields individually as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.
