How do I delete multiple files in artifactory

Question

I wanted to delete multiple files from Artifactory using their CLI, but it's not letting me.

./jfrog rt del "barbarian/CSS/2.12.8-1+gccb456e/PR-495/0/package/";"barbarian/BS/2.12.8-1+gccb456e/PR-495/0/package/" --quiet

I am getting no such file or directory

If I do these individually, it works so the path is correct. It is just not allowing me to delete them simultaneously.

You should probably use 1 of 2 options:

Set wildcards in your Delete path, and if needed in your --exclude-patterns to get to your desired list of artifacts you'd like to delete

or

Use a file spec (--spec) with your delete command, and specify the list of patterns you'd like to delete, for example, something like:

{
"files": [
 {
    "pattern": "barbarian/CSS/2.12.8-1+gccb456e/PR-495/0/package/"
 },
 {
    "pattern": "barbarian/BS/2.12.8-1+gccb456e/PR-495/0/package/"
 }
]}
