Delete Folder with files from SAS OnDemand for Academics

Hello,

I have a problem in SAS onDemand for Academics.

My data storage is full and I want to delete an old project (folder).

But I'm not able to delete the folder since it is not empty (it has multiple subfolders and files).

Do I need to delete every single file and folder in this folder one by one or is there an easier option to directly delete the folder with all files and subfolders in it?

Thanks a lot!!!

Hi:
I don't know of any other way to delete folders in SAS OnDemand for Academics except to delete everything under that folder first. It can be somewhat tedious, but luckily, you can select a group of files in a folder to delete an entire group of files to empty a folder.

After selecting one file, you can select multiple files at once by holding down the Shift key and clicking on the other files in between.

This will make your work a little easier.

At least, if you can get the file list with ls command or something, you can do it programmatically.
