Another one from Apple Discussions...

How to delete all the files from any given folder at a set time every day...


1) get specified Finder items

2) get folder contents

3) move to trash

4) run AppleScript at the end to empty the trash....

...save as an iCal Alarm plugin and set the time and date, recurrence etc !

regards

Ric

Thanks Ric, that was exactly what I was looking for! You've inspired me to learn more about applescript and automator.
Sincerely,
Alex
