Hi guys, I'm on Appian version 23.2, I need to create a process that deletes all documents in a folder, all, not one. I have not found any component to do it, can you help me?
Is there an option to do this?

    Did you know that Appian provides a public documentation? Just kidding ...
    

    The folder() function has an option (documentChildren) to return all documents it contains.
    

    Another option: I think there are some plugins that provide functions to delete folder content.

    There a Delete Folder Contents Smart Service available in the Content Tools plugin.
