Parameters of Action "remove" on Directories

NameTypeDirectionDescription
nameStringin

Fully qualified file name of the directory you want to remove, including the path.

When using the Windows style with backward slashes "\" you have to be aware that you have escape this character. The escape character is also the "\".
To avoid this, use forward slashes with Windows as well.

Defining a "remove" Action

To remove a directory with the file system adapter, you need to define a remove or a removeRecursively action on an action having the stereotype <<FileSystemAdapter>>. You can do this manually (refer to Figure: The Specification Dialog of the File System Adapter) or with the help of the E2E Action Wizard (see context menu of the action node).

Figure: Removing a Directory

The path of the directory you want to remove is defined in the component diagram. The link from the activity diagram to the physical information is established by an alias (in the present example: DirectoryAlias). See File System Components for more information on file system aliases.
For information on how to access a file or directory dynamically refer to Dynamic File System Access.

You can only remove an empty directory with action remove. In case the directory contains files or subfolders, use removeRecursively.
