Error deleting files from /Documents. Automation Error (Code: 0x8004022D)

Ross Elliott [DevOps Advocate]821 11th March 2025 0 Comments

Hi, I’m running a script to remove files from /Documents. It runs ok on the first folder but then I get an error on the 2nd folder. I’ve created the script this way because includeSubfolders set to true was not working at all, so I tried this way. (includeSubfolders = False)

foreach (string subfolder in subfolders)
{
engine.GenerateInformation($”Folder:{subfolder}”);
string folderName = subfolder;
try
{

GetDocumentsMessage request = new GetDocumentsMessage(folderName, includeSubfolders);

GetDocumentsResponseMessage response = Engine.SLNet.SendSingleResponseMessage(request) as GetDocumentsResponseMessage;

String[] documentOverview = response.Sa.Sa;

for (int i = 0; i < documentOverview.Length; i = i + 5)
{

DateTime lastWriteTime = DateTime.Parse(documentOverview[i + 3]);

// engine.GenerateInformation($”document: {documentOverview[i]} last write time: {lastWriteTime}”);

// engine.GenerateInformation(“document: ” + documentOverview[i] + “last write time:” + documentOverview[i+3]); // last write time

if (dateTimeNow – lastWriteTime > TimeSpan.FromDays(90)) // 3 months
{
try
{

DeleteDocumentMessage deleteRequest = new DeleteDocumentMessage
{
Document = documentOverview[i],
Element = folderName,
Web = false,
};

var deleteResponse = Engine.SLNet.SendSingleResponseMessage(deleteRequest);

engine.GenerateInformation($”document: {documentOverview[i]} last write time: {lastWriteTime} DELETED”);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
engine.ExitFail(“Error: ” + e);
}
}
else
{
engine.GenerateInformation($”document: {documentOverview[i]} last write time: {lastWriteTime} KEPT”);
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
engine.ExitFail($”error processing folder {subfolder} Error:{ex.Message}”);
}

}

It’s failing at this line on the second iteration. var deleteResponse = Engine.SLNet.SendSingleResponseMessage(deleteRequest);

I’m not sure why, can anyone help?

Thanks,

Ross

Hi Ross,

You can fix it by filling the request with:

DeleteDocumentMessage deleteRequest = new DeleteDocumentMessage
{
Document = System.IO.Path.Combine(folderName, documentOverview[i]),
Element = “”,
Web = false,
};

Tried on my local DMA and it works, I was using includeSubfolders = false and subfoders filled with complete paths to the folders.
