I want to have a task to look in a folder and delete files older than a date e.g. if the cut off date is todays date -6, then any files that are from last week should be deleted.

I can have the job setup using the dateaddnow variable but it only deletes that specific day i.e. the files from 6 days ago, not 7,8,9 days ago.

I'd like to be able to sue the variable for other actions such as uploading files etc.

I'm happy to have it lookat the filename and use the date format that I place in there as the mask.

Is there a way to do this or is it a feature request?

Did you try the beta? Because that version has this feature.

I am not understanding this part:

but it only deletes that specific day i.e. the files from 6 days ago, not 7,8,9 days ago

Perhaps you are talking about the non-beta version?

Wow - perfect.

That allows me to get rid of a whole other application 😉
