Auto refresh Directory tool Data

[SaleemAhmad]

I am deleting files based on user selection and for this binding all files in List Box using directory tool

Suppose have 10 files and user selected 2 files and deleted them using the analytics app interface. 

now if again i open app form it should show 8 files since 2 already deleted but showing 10 filles because its not refreshing the directory tool data.

Please suuport.

@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:

Updating Media

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.
