Delete files from sourcefolders after writing and copying

Question

Hi guys......i have a workflow where i source .xls files out from 3 different folders  e.g. C:\temp\PA8\Lists, C:\temp\PA9\Lists, C:\temp\PA7\Lists and split them (about an specified attribute) into many .xls files into another foldere.g          C:\temp\PA8\splits, C:\temp\PA9\splits, C:\temp\PA9\splits and additionaly i copy the source files with the filecopy writer into another foldere.g     C:\temp\PA8\done, C:\temp\PA9\done, C:\temp\PA9\done all that is working well!!! BUT i want to empty the source folder after this processing in the same workflow......is this possible.....i have tried the Custom transformer File Deleter but i didnt get it how it works....any solutions or workarounds? Cheers and GreetzFranco
