How to delete all files programmacticly, without deleting server

Hi!

I'm currently modifying my Pterodactyl installation. How can I remove all files from a server, without removing the server programmacticly?

You'd need to use the client API to request the contents of the "/" directory, and then pass all of the files to the delete endpoint. Basically look at the request made in the UI when you select all files and press delete.

@DaneEveritt So I just tried to do that.

It went sort of ok.

 Client error: `POST <url>:8080/api/servers/a2313a6d-e5cf-425b-ab83-5e72bc6499ad/files/delete` resulted in a `400 Bad Request` response: {"error":"An unexpected error was encountered while processing this request","request_id":"af22087f-93bb-4c82-9586-4dbc7 (truncated...)

Does the client API, only accept files and not directories?

The code used;

    public function test(Server $server)
    {
        $fileRepository = new DaemonFileRepository(app());

        $files = [];
        foreach($fileRepository->setServer($server)->getDirectory('/') as $item)
        {
            if ($item['file']==true)
            {
                array_push($files, $item);
            }
        }

        $this->getHttpClient([], $server)->post(
            sprintf('/api/servers/%s/files/delete', $server->uuid),
            [
                'json' => [
                    'root' => '/',
                    'files' => $files,
                ],
            ]
            );
    }

        /**
     * Return an instance of the Guzzle HTTP Client to be used for requests.
     */
    public function getHttpClient(array $headers = [], $server): Client
    {
        return new Client([
            'verify' => app()->environment('production'),
            'base_uri' => $server->node->getConnectionAddress(),
            'timeout' => config('pterodactyl.guzzle.timeout'),
            'connect_timeout' => config('pterodactyl.guzzle.connect_timeout'),
            'headers' => array_merge($headers, [
                'Authorization' => 'Bearer ' . $server->node->getDecryptedKey(),
                'Accept' => 'application/json',
                'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
            ]),
        ]);
    }

The test method points to a test route, that I made. I basically looked at the deleteFiles method and copied the most of the function

panel/app/Repositories/Wings/DaemonFileRepository.php

Line 169 in b0995f6

public function deleteFiles(?string $root, array $files): ResponseInterface

So basically I fotgot to append a / in front of the names, which solved it.
