Delete folder with name "_gsdata_"

[clmsvie (Clemens)]

Hello,

I am looking for a way to delete all folders with the name of _gsdata_ and all files with the name .DS_Store

I tried it this (and multiple other) ways:

rclone delete -v -P --include '.DS_Store' --include '_gsdata_/**' nextcloud: --dry-run

... it works fine for the .DS_Store files, but seems not to work for the folders with the name _gsdata_.

That am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

You can test out by running a rclone ls command.

The filters are relative from the top path so if you are looking for a those two items in the top level folder, it should work.

Some examples:

felix@gemini:~/test$ rclone ls /home/felix/test
      227 test/hosts
      227 _gsdata_/test2
      227 .DS_Store/blah
felix@gemini:~/test$ rclone ls /home/felix/test --include '.DS_Store' --include '_gsdata_/**'
      227 _gsdata_/test2
felix@gemini:~/test$ rclone ls /home/felix/test --include '.DS_Store/**' --include '_gsdata_/**'
      227 _gsdata_/test2
      227 .DS_Store/blah

and

felix@gemini:~/test$ rclone ls /home/felix/test
      227 .DS_Store/blah
      227 test/hosts
      227 1/_gsdata_/test2
felix@gemini:~/test$ rclone ls /home/felix/test --include '.DS_Store/**' --include '_gsdata_/**'
      227 .DS_Store/blah
felix@gemini:~/test$ rclone ls /home/felix/test --include '.DS_Store/**' --include '**/_gsdata_/**'
      227 .DS_Store/blah
      227 1/_gsdata_/test2

It's a bit confusing at first but once you get the hang of it, it really makes sense.
