here code i write to achieve that including the error :
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ rclone -q --min-age 1s rmdirs google_drive:marabahan_backup/by_date/*
2018/01/29 23:21:59 ERROR : Google drive root ‘marabahan_backup/by_date/’: Failed to list “”: directory not found
2018/01/29 23:22:00 ERROR : : Failed to rmdir: directory not empty
2018/01/29 23:22:00 ERROR : Attempt 1/3 failed with 2 errors and: directory not empty
2018/01/29 23:22:00 ERROR : Google drive root 'marabahan_backup/by_date/’: Failed to list “”: directory not found
2018/01/29 23:22:01 ERROR : : Failed to rmdir: directory not empty
2018/01/29 23:22:01 ERROR : Attempt 2/3 failed with 2 errors and: directory not empty
2018/01/29 23:22:01 ERROR : Google drive root ‘marabahan_backup/by_date/*’: Failed to list “”: directory not found
2018/01/29 23:22:02 ERROR : : Failed to rmdir: directory not empty
2018/01/29 23:22:02 ERROR : Attempt 3/3 failed with 2 errors and: directory not empty
2018/01/29 23:22:02 Failed to rmdirs: directory not empty

i am using this too :
rclone -q --min-age 1s rmdirs "google_drive:marabahan_backup/by_date/**

and this :

rclone -q --min-age 10m purge google_drive:marabahan_backup/by_date/*
2018/01/30 20:11:31 ERROR : Attempt 1/3 failed with 1 errors and: directory not found
2018/01/30 20:11:32 ERROR : Attempt 2/3 failed with 1 errors and: directory not found
2018/01/30 20:11:32 ERROR : Attempt 3/3 failed with 1 errors and: directory not found
2018/01/30 20:11:32 Failed to purge: directory not found

and same as it before error like one above

i got this:
if i want to delete folder using filter i should delete the content first after that i need to run other command here it is :
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ rclone -q --min-age 10m delete google_drive:marabahan_backup/by_date/
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ rclone -q --min-age 10m rmdirs --leave-root google_drive:marabahan_backup/by_date/

Correct me Please If I’am Wrong

Note that --min-age 10m applies only to the files so what you’ve written is

  • delete all files older than 10m then
  • remove any empty directories.

Is that what you wanted?

Note that if you just want a directory and all of its contents gone then rclone purge is more efficient (on drive it will just put the directory in the trash).
