"Delete original file" in Command Executor not working

[st-tb]

Hi, I´m having trouble deleting original file with Command Executor.

The workflow: Watchfolder on disk X -> Move to disk C -> A/V Media -> AviSynth Script to cut first 15s of video -> XDCAMHD encoder -> Move to folder on disk C -> Command Executor to delete the file (the one moved form X to C): %comspec% /c "del /f /q "%s_original_full%""

Is there something I´m doing wrong?
The status monitor tells me that the command has been executed, however the files from C are not deleted.


Thanks a lot for any help

Hello st,

Can you upload your workflow please? It will be easier to find the problem.
Or tell me what are your 2 paths for delivery node on C.


Thanks

Hello, sure, no problem.

Thanks in advance

Seems ok but your command executor will delete the original file in X, not in C.

So how do I make it delete the one in C? The X one is gone as that moved to C ....

[momocampo]

Nop, when you create monitor folder-->delivery it's not a move it's a copy. I think you saw your X drive is empty because of your command executor (Which delete original file in X)
So if you want to delete the C drive, use this command executor:
%comspec% /c "del "C:\WATCH\WEB_IN_OBRAZEC\%s_original_name%.%s_original_ext%""

[st-tb]

Definitely not, as the workflow has been working for few months now and the files have always been moving, not copying . I´ve only tried to ad th Command Executor today

However, I´ll try your command line, thanks a lot for your input. Will let you know, if it works

[momocampo]

Yes because you have check "move source instead of copy" in delivery folder.
So use my command line in command executor and it should be ok.

@momocampo very well done but any idea why the commandline processor did not indicate if there was a file deleted or not?

Hey encodem,

Well I though about maybe a "omit exit code" but uncheck so...???
I think you will tell us
