@SaleemAhmad Just to check, after the user selected the files, and then ran the app, did you check to see if the files actually get deleted?

Just created a workflow, leveraging this tool: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Community-Gallery/Delete-Files/ta-p/1005983
Let's test (be careful, as files are being deleted of course!):
Running as Analytic App; Selecting these two files:
After running:
Now checking the original folder:
Success!
Workflow attached. Be careful! :)
Many thanks,

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, i am already able to delete the selected files using my own created workflow. but the issue is after deleting the selected file, files not refreshing in selection screen ..i mean to day if i deleted 2 files then it would not be available in my files selection scree since its already deleted.
Is there any way to refresh the directory data on app form load. Please suuport.
