Creating a file deletion task

To create a file deletion task:

  1. Select the Tasks section in the program web interface window.

    This opens the task table.

  2. Click Add and select Delete file.

    This opens the task creation window.

  3. Configure the following settings:
    1. File path—Path to the file that you want to delete.

      You can also specify the path to an

      alternate data stream
      of this file. In this case, only the specified data stream will be deleted. The other data streams of this file will be left unchanged.

    2. MD5/SHA256—MD5- or SHA256 hash of the file that you want to delete. This field is optional.
    3. Description—Task description. This field is optional.
    4. Task for—Task scope:
      • If you want to run the task on all hosts of all servers, select the All hosts option.
      • If you want to run the task on selected servers, select the Specified servers option and on the right of the Servers parameter name select the check boxes next to the names of the servers on which you want to run the task.

        This option is available only when

        distributed solution
        and
        multitenancy mode
        is enabled.

      • If you want to run the task on selected hosts, select the Specified hosts option and list these hosts in the Hosts field.
  4. Click Add.

The file deletion task will be created. The task runs automatically after it is created.

If the file has been blocked by another process, the task will be displayed with the Completed status but the file will be deleted only after the host is restarted. It is recommended to check whether the file is successfully deleted after the host is restarted.

Deleting the file from a mapped network drive is not supported.

Users with the Security auditor role cannot create file deletion tasks.

Users with the Security officer role do not have access to tasks.
