Based on an Excel file, this function deletes all the files oriented by the user.

Usage

delete_files_from_excel(file_path, save = 0, verbose = T)

Arguments

file_path

The path to the Excel file containing file details.

save

The value in the delete column that avoid the deletion of the file. The default value is 0.

Details

Is highly recommended to use folder_details(), which generates an Excel file with detailed information for each file of a folder. After this, the user must manually modify the "delete" column in such way, that the files that are expected to be deleted must have any value different to the save value (by default 0).

Examples

if (FALSE) {
delete_files_from_excel("details.xlsx")
}
