I have a excel file with photo link to Fulcrum (a different app). I have to create a template with photo link from my shared resources and id from the excel. I have created the FME process successful. But there are some extra photos that are not mapped to the ID which I need to delete. Which transformer shall i apply.

Image above shows my FME process, I want to delete the 6 photos from unused supplier from my original folder. Which transformer shall i apply. and can it access my folder and Delete the photos.

      You can use a Writer = File Copy and set it with Delete Mode

      1. Add a writer/feature writer File Copy fromat.
      2. Set File Operation = Delete.
      3. Prior to the writer, add attribute creator to populate the format
        • create   filecopy_source_dataset   
        • set     @Value(your attribute / path_windows)
        • e.g. path_windows  =  C:\Temp\TestFile.png
      Attribute Value
      filecopy_source_dataset C:\Temp\TestFile.png
