Configuring deletion of files and folders
The Delete Files functionality is disabled by default. You can choose to enable the delete operation for stale, orphan, or inactive files and folders.
Note:
Ensure that the folders and files marked for deletion do not contain any sensitive data or information. Once a delete request is initiated, the folders and files are deleted with no fore-warning.
To enable and configure the delete action
- In the Data Insight interface, click Settings > Remediation > Data Management > Delete Files > Edit.
- Select the Enable delete files action check box.
- Select the Delete empty folder check box for deleting the folder containing the files that have been deleted.
- Enter one or multiple device names on which you need to perform the Delete action in the Devices for action field. The device names can be alphanumeric and separated by a comma. For example, entering 10.209*in the Devices for action field indicates the Delete Files action for all devices starting with the name 10.209.
- Enter the maximum number of files to be deleted in a single delete request in the File count field.
- Select the credentials of the user performing the Delete action. You can select from:
Use scan credentials: Select the credentials provided for scanning a device while adding the device to Data Insight.
Select user > Select saved credentials...: Select the credentials having sufficient privileges to perform the Delete Files action on all the selected devices.
- Click OK.
