Can we erase old course content selectively

Question

Our storage all most filled. So we want to erase old course from content path.

Answer 1

As we all know, SWF content type is no longer supported on ERA. However, it has been observed that some centers still have SWF files stored on their local servers. To free up storage space, please follow the steps below to delete these files safely:

Steps to delete .swf files from the content path:

1. Log in to the system using the LF/Centre credentials.

2. Identify and navigate to the content path where the course content is stored.

3. Open Command Prompt (CMD) from the same directory path.

4. In CMD, enter the following command:
   DEL /S *.swf

5. Press Enter to execute the command.

⚠️ Important Note:
Ensure that this command is run only within the content path folder. Running it from any other directory (like system folders) could result in accidental deletion of essential system files.
