Deployment Package that deletes specific folder and contents from users computers

[tdmac12]

Hello,

I'm needing to create a deployment package that will delete a folder and its contents named Win11Upgrade on C:.

I've only created packages to install software, but never to delete a file or folder. Is there a package already out there that I can copy, or someone on here that can help me get started in the right direction?

Thanks!

Create a new deployment package and add a Command step using command: RMDIR "C:\Win11Upgrade" /S /Q

This can be used on all deployment packages if the installation file/folders have been copied locally and you want to clean up at the end of the deployment.

This requires elevated rights so using a package by itself use System account.

If this command is added to an existing deployment package, the credentials used for deployment should work for the deletion.

Hello there!

For deleting files, you have several types of deployment steps that you could use:

• Command: allows you to run Command Prompt (CMD) commands on the target computer.
• Script: allows you to run a VBS or other type of script on the target computer. Don't forget to store your scripts in your package share(s). The scripts referenced by the built-in deployment packages are stored in DefaultPackageShare$ on your Lansweeper server, in the Scripts subfolder.
