Error with Files.remove API

General
1

Am getting “File or directory cannot be found” error when I try to use the Backendless.Files.remove API. I copied the URL link and verified that I got the address right.

To reproduce the issue we’d need to know the following:

  1. URL of the file you’re trying to delete.
  2. Your application ID.

Hello @Nkekere_Tommy_Minimann

Try this:

Can I remove a file based on the date created?

Hello @Nkekere_Tommy_Minimann

No, but you can listen to directories/files, then create a list of dirs/files to remove and finally remove all of them one by one
