Use Case

  • Delete file from the backend storage when an eXtendFiles record is deleted in NetSuite.

Configuration

To delete a file from your backend storage upon the deletion of an eXtendFiles record, enable the DELETE FILES FROM STORAGE setting on the eXtendFiles Setup page at eXtendTech → eXtendFiles → Setup.

If you have multiple copies of the file across multiple eXtendFiles records, the file will not be deleted from the backend storage until all eXtendFiles records pointing to that file have been deleted.
