Delete Qvd older than 2 months

[Prabhu1204]

Hello All,

I am developing a Qlik sense Dashboard and storing a qvd for current and Previous month.  

In the Qliksense script I need to delete the qvd's older than 2 months.

Is that possible? and any example?

Hi @Prabhu1204 

Qlik's scripting can't delete objects on the file system, including QVD, you will be better off writing a Powershell script of a batch file to delete them.

As @ArnadoSandoval wrote, you can't delete files using Qlik sense script.

The least you can do is to truncate those QVDs, but I guess it's not enough for you.

You don't need to do it from Qlik at all - a single command in a cmd-file which can run each day is all you need:

delete-QVDs-older-than-180-days.cmd

ForFiles /p "C:\QVDFolder" /m *.QVD /d -60 /c "cmd /c del @file"
