Currently I have it configured as such:
- name: Find all files older than 30 days in diagnostics folder
win_find:
paths: "{{ unc_path }}"
file_type: directory
age: 30d
#recurse: yes
register: FilesOver30
- name: Delete all files/folders older than 30 days from diagnostics folder
win_file:
path: "{{ unc_path }}"
state: absent
with_items: "{{ FilesOver30.files | difference([unc_path]) }}"
You're suggesting replacing "unc_path" with "item.path" in the second name
block as such:
