Inputs

Contents - Contents
string. Required. Default value: myFileShare.

**/* deletes all files and folders in the root folder.
temp deletes the temp folder in the root folder.
temp* deletes any file or folder in the root folder with a name that begins with temp.
**/temp/* deletes all files and folders in any sub-folder named temp.
**/temp* deletes any file or folder with a name that begins with temp.
!(*.vsix) deletes all files in the root folder that do not have a .vsix extension.
