Filter specifying files to be removed. Wildcards Wild cards may be used.

Deleting a whole directory tree can be achieved by defining the directory path in the filter without any file filter options (.).
name wild cards. eg: %ROOT_DIR%/exportDir/purgeDirectory

Sub directories will not be removed. If the configured directory contains subdirectories it can not be removed, this will result in an error that is logged:  "GA.Error: Can not delete an existing directory "

A directory can only be removed if it is a sub directory of the General Adapter root directory!

, 

When using a path with a filename wild card, subdirectories will by default not be removed, an optional element, <includeSubdirectories> can be included to also delete subdirectories, including their content.

Please note that it is possible to delete files outside the general adapter root folder, so it is recommended to always start the filter path with %ROOT_DIR% to prevent this from happening accidentally.

Example (note Example (not the use of tags to define the root directory namesname):

        <purgeActivity>
