Im trying to delete three folders in below with AppleScript but they are not deleting. The script goes through like everything is OK but the files never delete.
~/Library/Group Containers/
Here is what Imm am using to delete try to delete these files. What am i doing wrong?
try
do shell script “rm -r ~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.ms” with administrator privileges
end try
try
do shell script “rm -r ~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office” with administrator privileges
end try
try
do shell script “rm -r ~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.OfficeOsfWebHost” with administrator privileges
end try
Either escape the space with a backslash (plus a second backslash to escape the first backslash)
Group\\ Containers
or put the path component “ or the whole path “ in single quotes
'Group Containers'
An alternative is a list and a repeat loop
property itemsToDelete : {"UBF8T346G9.ms", "UBF8T346G9.Office", "UBF8T346G9.OfficeOsfWebHost"}
set groupContainer to POSIX path of (path to library folder from user domain) & "Group Containers/"
repeat with anItem in itemsToDelete
try
do shell script "rm -r " & quoted form of (groupContainer & anItem) with administrator privileges
end try
end repeat
