is there a way to delete files in the filecabinet using suitecloud cli node.js?

Nope; SDF is non-destructive by design. I don't think it has delete facilities for anything

@erictgrubaugh , do you have some best practices when managing files and folder structures when you support (not create), please?
e
I suppose it depends on what "support" versus "create" means in this case. I talk about various project structures and my own recommendations here. If I were taking over a project that someone else created, and the creators weren't going to be involved anymore, I'd move all the files wherever I wanted them instead. If the creators were still going to be involved, I'd align to their patterns.

Thanks Eric. So you move the files first in NS UI, then you do in WebStorm/Desktop folders? I'll read your blog later (thanks for sharing!)
e
You could move them in the UI first then update your repo, yep. That's probably the most straightforward, but might be a little tedious if there's a ton of disparate files to move

(I actually already read this blog 😄)
Yes, that's exactly the case, it's soooo tedious every time I take a new customer over...
We need to ask @tdietrich to build us a tool that mix with SDF, bundle UI/Send to Account and folder repository 🙂
