Seasons Greetings!
After updating four files, I'm trying to delete the originals.
Please help me get the -delete_original! command working.
This command:
-delete_original!
"E:\mySourceFolder\stocktest"
Brings this reply:

QuoteAlso, arguments should not be quoted
Thank you StarGeek for pointing out the quotes problem. This command works great for deleting the originals.
