Ino Remove Folder

Automation creates junk, and junk needs cleaning. Ino Remove Folder deletes a folder and everything in it, recursively, from inside your ComfyUI graph - the "cleanup pass" node for batch pipelines that generate temp images, download zips, or unpack folders they should have tidied after themselves. It's an output node: it runs as a terminal action in your workflow, not a data transform in the middle.

Let's be direct about the stakes: this node will recursively delete the folder you point it at, no confirmation dialog, every time the workflow runs. That's a feature when you're clearing a temp dir at the start of a batch. It's a footgun if you mis-set a path. The pack's file nodes all share a defensive design - a parent_folder dropdown restricted to ComfyUI's input, output, and temp trees, so you're sandboxed inside those. But within them, it's full recursive deletion.

How it works

You pick parent_folder (input/output/temp), type folder, and the node resolves the two into an absolute path and calls the pack's file helper to remove it recursively. The enabled toggle and the Ino convention apply: disabled means it does nothing and reports success: False with a "Node is disabled" message. The seed input exists (with control-after-generate) mostly so you can force re-execution ordering - there's nothing random about a delete. The optional dummy_string input is the same idea in another form: a place to wire a dependency so this node runs after the node that produced the folder.

Outputs follow the pack-wide file pattern: success (bool), message, rel_path, and abs_path - so downstream logic can log what was cleaned or verify it happened.

Inputs and outputs that matter

• parent_folder - combo: input, output, or temp. The sandbox. Everything else is off-limits by design.
• folder - relative path under parent_folder. Empty string means the parent itself.
• enabled - off = no-op.

Installing it

Part of ComfyUI-InoNodes (Inoland). ComfyUI Manager → search "ComfyUI Ino Nodes" → install → restart. Manual:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/nobandegani/comfyui_ino_nodes
cd comfyui_ino_nodes
pip install -r requirements.txt

Restart after. Requires inopyutils (auto-installed) and a current ComfyUI; no keys or downloads.

Common issues

The one worth repeating: recursive delete with no confirmation. Test the path resolution on a junk folder first - put a throwaway file in there, run, confirm it's gone. Then trust it. A subtler version of the same trap: folder is relative to parent_folder, and an empty folder targets the parent folder itself, so if you leave folder blank while pointing at input, you're deleting everything under ComfyUI's input directory. That is real, and it has probably happened to someone. The success/message outputs exist to be logged - wire them into a Print or Save Text if you want a paper trail of what the node decided to eat.
