Hi Team,

Can you please tell me how to delete the XPT files form library.

@bhanuprakash - I suggest you check out the FDELETE function.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Is there any way that we can delete all XPT files at a time.

@bhanuprakash - Yes, you can assign a FILENAME using *.xpt then FDELETE will delete all XPT files in the selected folder.

x "del ""%sysfunc(pathname(MyLib))\*.xpt"" /Q /F";
