Azure Webapp Rremove file(s) through Powershell

we are deploying Azure WebApps via Octopus. We could set octopus to remove all files (except App_Data) before a publish, but we only want to remove certain files. We can trigger powershell scripts via Octopus so maybe we can use powershell to remove file/folders in the webapp.

Are there Powershell Cmdlets to remove certain files or folders on an Azure webapp?

Open your file properties which will you exclude in your solution. Change for each file properties to Not content/no action/ dont copy to output.. like this.

Or you should open your project properties and exclude your files from post build step.

Yes, you can do this with PowerShell. The example below checks the file exists and then removes them.

If (Test-Path $FileName){
    Remove-Item $FileName
}

And you can use Octopus Variables within your PowerShell script if you need to. For example, a variable in your project named $FileName would satisfy the sample above.

You can also get the path Octopus has placed the application in:

$Path = $OctopusParameters['Octopus.Action[Step Name].Output.Package.InstallationDirectoryPath']
