What is the problem you are having with rclone?
rclone delete --min-age 56d --rmdirs 1fichier:/
is not honored, the empty directories are not deleted
What is your rclone version (output from rclone version
)
1.56
Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)
CentOS 7
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
1fichier
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp
)
rclone delete --min-age 56d --rmdirs 1fichier:/
=> downgrading to version 1.54.1 made it work, so obviously a bug sneeked in!

I did a very quick test
$ echo hello | rclone rcat TestFichier:testdir/subdir/file
rclone tree TestFichier:testdir
$ rclone tree TestFichier:testdir
/
└── subdir
└── file
1 directories, 1 files
$ rclone delete -vv --max-age 1d --rmdirs TestFichier:testdir

And this was successful...
Can you run the command again with -vv
and post the log please?

I think that --min-age 56d
argument applies to directories, and it should not:

As you can see: version 1.55.1 is also affected.

According to docs 1fichier does not support mod-time so --max-age is not applicable

It does work for files: I have been using it constantly~. This bug relates to the --rmdirs
argument, which was working in version 1.54 when used with the --max-age
argument.
I have to run 2 commands instead of one. I do not know if the --rmdirs
argument shall apply with an AND condition with the --max-age
argument?
Maybe it's working as expected and it's me not understanding the logic of the arguments: are they standalone?

I think probably what is happening is that any directory which are empty but don't have a file older than 54 days aren't being considered for deletion.
You might want to run through with rclone rmdirs
to delete all the empty directories then try again - I think it will work properly after that - if deleting an 56d old file causes a directory to become empty then it will be deleted.
Does that make sense?
