ComfyUI Node: 🌻 Delete Local Any

🌻 Delete Local Any:

The AD_DeleteLocalAny node is designed to facilitate the deletion of files and directories from your local storage. This node is particularly useful for managing and organizing your file system by removing unnecessary or unwanted files, thereby freeing up space and maintaining a tidy directory structure. It operates by accepting a list of file or directory paths and an optional file name prefix, allowing you to target specific files for deletion. The node is capable of handling both individual files and entire directories, making it a versatile tool for batch file management tasks. By automating the deletion process, it helps streamline workflows, especially in environments where large volumes of files are generated and need regular cleanup.

🌻 Delete Local Any Input Parameters:

Any

The Any parameter is a required input that accepts a list of file or directory paths you wish to delete. This parameter is flexible, allowing you to specify either a single path or multiple paths in a list format. The node will process each path individually, checking if it is a valid file or directory before attempting deletion. This parameter is crucial as it determines the scope of the deletion operation, and incorrect paths will result in no action being taken for those entries.

File_Name

The File_Name parameter is an optional input that allows you to specify a prefix for the files you want to delete. If provided, the node will only delete files that start with this prefix within the specified directories. This parameter is useful for targeting specific files without affecting others, providing a finer level of control over the deletion process. If left empty or not provided, the node will attempt to delete all files in the specified paths.

🌻 Delete Local Any Output Parameters:

Tips

The Tips output provides a summary of the actions taken by the node, including successful deletions and any errors encountered. This output is a string that lists each file or directory that was successfully deleted, as well as any issues that arose during the process. It serves as a feedback mechanism, allowing you to verify the results of the deletion operation and identify any paths that could not be processed.

Deleted_Paths

The Deleted_Paths output is a string that lists all the file paths that were successfully deleted. This output is useful for record-keeping and verification purposes, ensuring that you have a clear log of what was removed from your system. It can also be used to cross-reference with the Tips output to ensure all intended deletions were executed.

🌻 Delete Local Any Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the paths provided in the Any parameter are correct and accessible to avoid errors during the deletion process.
• Use the File_Name parameter to selectively delete files with specific prefixes, which can help prevent accidental deletion of important files.
• Regularly check the Tips output to confirm successful deletions and address any errors that may occur.

🌻 Delete Local Any Common Errors and Solutions:

'item' is not a valid file or directory path

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified path in the Any parameter is neither a valid file nor a directory.
• Solution: Verify that the path is correct and accessible. Ensure that the path exists on your file system and is spelled correctly.

Error deleting 'file_path': 'error_message'

• Explanation: This error indicates that an issue occurred while attempting to delete a file or directory, with the specific error message providing more details.
• Solution: Check the error message for clues. Common issues include permission errors or the file being in use. Ensure you have the necessary permissions and that the file is not open in another application.
