Dear all,

In the manifest file, there is a Cleanup component.

Can I use it to delete some old folders from a skin ?

Ex: Install new bootstrap 5 folder and delete the old bootstrap 3 one

Thanks for your help.

Yes you can.

[component type="Cleanup" version="06.06.01" glob="Portals/_default/Skins/MySkin/Bootstrap3/**/*.*;"]
[/component]
[component type="Cleanup" version="06.06.01"]
[folder]
[path]Portals/_default/Skins/MySkin/Bootstrap3[/path]
[/folder]
[/component]

(replaced <> with [] as it would not show up correctly..)

The first part removes the files, the second the folder.
