I am trying to have my FME workbench to delete a folder on a windows directory. I was able to use the FeatureReader and read my Directory and File Pathnames and feed it to the FileCopy but this only deletes the files in the folder, not the folder itself. Is their a way to delete the whole folder and its files opposed to just the files? thanks

Hi @piercexc Try the SystemCaller.  e.g. If the feature has an attribute "whichdir", then

rmdir C:\temp\@Value(whichdir) /S /Q
