Delete file tasks works fine with a folder of: {JOB(Active|Variable|JobFileDir)}
and an Include file mask of: {PATH(ChangeExtension|{TRIGGER(Active|LastTrigger|File.Result.Name)}|out)}
(the file that triggers my job is a .xlsx).

However, when I check the "Secure content with random data" checkbox on the "delete settings" tab and run the job, the delete file tasks fails with:
Exception in Task: The path is not of a legal form.
Exception in Task: No file(s) deleted
No other boxes are checked.

The filename resolves to:
Copy of Validated SG Enrollment QTR 1-4 corrected rejects and new enrollments 04162018.out

Could the spaces in the filename cause this? File name too long?

Can you enable Task debugging in Main settings of Task and post the full error message?

Thanks, can you add the full path as well?

The path resolves to (some elements change to protect the innocent):
\\xyz-online\xyz\Operations\Transfers\Trading_Partners\vendorname\dev\tmp\EFS\Enroll\XLSX Conversion to CSV\Copy of Validated SG Enrollment QTR 1-4 corrected rejects and new enrollments 04162018.xlsx

Note it could end in an extension of .* if I decide to delete the orig and tmp files that are used in my process.

Thanks!

Thanks, we will get back to you.
