Removing the User Prompt from Run Commands

[myastarling]

I created a workflow to delete a backup folder and rename an active folder to backup. The only thing is I want to remove the user prompt. I've tried /Q after the rd and that isn't working. does anyone have any suggestions for this?

@myastarling,

Instead of "del" have you tried to use "move"?

Below an example

'move "'+[Directory]+'*.*"'+' "'+[Old_Directory]+'\"'

Hope this helps,

using the move command will not work because I need the following sequence to happen:

(1) existing Backup Logs folder deleted

(2) Logs folder and all subfolders renamed or moved to Backup Logs folder.

If there are different folders in the existing Backup Logs folder and the Logs folder contents are moved to the Backup Logs folder, the previous contents will not be overwritten. I need the Backup Logs folder to contain exactly the contents from the previous week and no more.

Additionally, the Logs folder will still remain, and this needs to be deleted then.
Either way, a folder and subfolders need to be deleted .

@myastarling,

I tried with /Q and it's working well:

Attached the workflow,

that was the issue -- everything I found on the web said to add /Q after the command but neglected to say it needs to go after the entire string (and, of course, didn't provide actual examples) -- this works well -- thanks!
