Hi folks,

I use cells v3 community version but I think it is not important for my issue.  
I want to delete files older than x days.  
I tried to use the go snippet from Zayn in the post [Cells purging question - #8 by scott.bentley](https://forum.pydio.com/t/cells-purging-question/3087/8)  
from Jun 2020. I get a compile error using cmd.GetApiClient that there is no GetApiClient defined.  
In the descriptions from pkg.go.dev and github I can’t see any defenition from GetApiClient.  
How can I get an connect to the cells service to delete files. Better, how can I delete files older than …  
Any help or hints for me?  
An advance thank you very much.  
Best regards  
Gregor

hi Gregor  
you should have a look at [cells-sdk-go/ls.go at main · pydio/cells-sdk-go · GitHub](https://github.com/pydio/cells-sdk-go/blob/main/example/cmd/ls.go)  
the SDK slight changed since the 2020 post…

Hello Charles,

thank you for your answer. But I can not find this package path [GitHub - pydio/cells-sdk-go: Golang client for Pydio Cells rest API.](http://github.com/pydio/cells-sdk-go/) **v4/**

What is my misunderstanding?

In advance thank you very much  
Gregor

To ease our maintenance processes, we recently “moved” back the v4 at the root of the github repository.

Yet, it is still referenced as `github.com/pydio/cells-sdk-go/v4` in go thanks to the `go.mod` file.
