Hi
Id like some help on setting up a rule to auto delete a folder.
Id like to automatically delete a folder if it hasnt been opened by a certain date, is this possible.
many thanks
Brian

As far as I know, Date last opened is not recorded for folders. It's unclear what that would constitute anyways. Does that mean every time someone navigates to it in Finder? If you provide more specifics about what you are trying to do, maybe I can come up with an alternative approach.

Hi
What I was trying to do was make a folder which contains certain personnel files, if the folder is not opened within the last month by myself, then to have it automatically moved to the bin? I was just wondering if this would be possible.
thanks

What do you mean by "opened" here? Just viewing it in Finder? If that is the case, there's no record of that so it's probably not possible to create a rule to monitor that. You could try doing it off of date added. Not the same but maybe does most of what you need to do.
