# DeleteAfterIngest

The `DeleteAfterIngest` parameter specifies whether files are deleted after they have been sent to the ingest server (usually a Connector Framework Server).

The normal behavior of the connector is to crawl the directory structure and leave the files unchanged. This parameter allows the files to be deleted after they have been processed. You might use this parameter if some other process is populating the directories specifically for the connector.

To pass ownership to the ingester, and delete files after they have been processed, set this parameter to `True`.

Type: | Boolean
