Delete files from Azure Web Apps through KUDU Virtual File System Rest API (Put & Get coming soon)
This task was created because sometimes web apps create certain files containing configuration after initial deployments. This task helps you reset your web app to a certain state wehre resetting the full directory isn't an option (otherwise use Webdeploy's advanced parameter called "Remove Additional Files at Destination")
Using the task is easy: fill in the following parameters:
- Azure subscription (select your Azure RM connection)
- App Service Name (select the web app you want to delete files at)
- File URL (enter the file url within the wwwroot that you want to delete. use path ending on / for directories)
optionally add the following parameters
- Recursive delete (Default ON if you select a directory also delete all files and directories in this directory)
- Skip non existing path (If file or directory does not exist any more do not throw error but continue)
- Allow self signed certificates (only use this when you you run in an ASE and have your own certificates)
- Alternative kudu URL (When running in ASE and the SCM url is different fill in the exact url here)
Coming soon! (let me know in comments if you need this let me know your requirements)
