21.1 Overview ¶
The Delete file task removes the invoice file - e.g. as the last task of a chain, after the invoice has been archived, printed, or saved to the database.

Move to recycle bin (recoverable) or Delete permanently |
| Delete the parent folder afterwards if it is empty |
Cleans up empty subfolders |
Note: This task is not available in the “Extract XML from PDF file” processing mode, since the temporarily extracted XML file is cleaned up automatically (see chapter 8.7).
Note: In the demo configuration this task is deliberately created deactivated. Combine deleting with a filter (see chapter 30) or preceding archiving tasks so that no unprocessed invoices are lost - when in doubt, Move to recycle bin is the safe choice.
