Im using an Azure App Service for my ASP.NET project with the Shared tier plan, this has only 1GB of temp files allowed.
I use github actions to deploy my app to azure, each deployment create and store a zip file in the temp folder of my web app. After a few deployments my temp storage quota is full and I can't deploy anymore to my app, I get a 500 error.
The workaround is to manually delete the temp folder or restart the app (which clear the temp files) but this defeat the purpose of a CI/CD pipeline.
It is possible to automatically clear the temp folder files after every deployment?

I resolved my issue by using a post deployment action hook with a .bat file containing :
set folder="C:\path\to\your\dir"
cd /d %folder%
for /F "delims=" %%i in ('dir /b') do (rmdir "%%i" /s/q || del "%%i" /s/q)
