BrightSign Scripting - Delete Folder and Contents?

Hello:

Those who are familiar with BrightSign Scripting, is is possible to Delete a Folder and all of it's Contents upon booting, and then go about business as normal?

Anyone have any ideas on if something is possible?

Many people are having issues with the BrightSign players SD card becoming full, because the Media RSS cached files are not being deleted by the player:

It would be nice for all those with this issue, if we could add some small script that is run first every time the player is booted, that would just delete the "cache" folder on the SD card, and all of it's contents. Then run the published project as normal.

Unfortunately, the only solution right now is to physically remove the SD card from the player, to delete the cache folder, or reformat the SD card.  This is a pain as many players are often in hard to reach locations, or spread out over large areas.  I have one client that is doing this for 20 players every 3 weeks right now, and it take a good amount of time to go around to all the players to do this.

If any users have thoughts on how to do this it would be appreciated, while we are waiting on BrightSign to come up with  a working solution to this issue.

Thanks!

John
