Hi,
​
how can I delete the file that was uploaded after sending the email? I saw in the FAQ that there is a way to delete old files via PHP (https://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/53-chronoforms/cfv4/cfv4-file-uploads/2665-how-can-i-delete-old-file-uploads) but I need a solution that deletes the file immediately after sending the email and it should only delete the file that was uploaded, not all other files in the upload folder.
​
I searched the forum but couldn't find a solution that works with ChronoForms v6.

Hi JM,
​
You can use a PHP action after the Email action to delete the file.

Hi Bob,
​
how do I get the file name? Of course I know the folder where the file is stored but the file name changes constantly.

Hi JM,
​
It will be in the form data at that point, you can add a Debugger action temporarily to see - also check the shortcode variables FAQ.
