Hello, I had a question, is it possible to automatically delete a file or folder after successful synchronization.

The situation is as follows, I download a movie, sync with freefilesync to another computer in the network and after that I would like to automatically empty the folders on my PC again.
Does anyone know if this is possible?

Run a mirror sync, then run a post-sync command that deletes the source data

Or an Update sync, if you do not want the right-side data to get deleted on the next sync you run.

But, using FFS for this purpose does not make a lot of sense, as what you apparently want is to move your data, not sync it. Then simply use e.g. File Explorer to move the data.

As always, it depends what the end goal is. lol
Is it to process files, or backup, etc.
