how to delete or cleanup DATA_PUMP_DIR in Oracle RDS

Question

Hello ,
I am looking for solution on deleting multiple files at a time from Oracle RDS DATA_PUMP_DIR.
I can see that more than 100 files present in one of my RDS DATA_PUMP_DIR and for cleanup activity we have delete it one by one with below sql as : exec utl_file.fremove('DATA_PUMP_DIR','file.log') ;
is there any solution or script available with the help of that I can delete multiple files or cleanup complete DATA_PUMP_DIR please let me know.

Accepted Answer

Delete files in DATA_PUMP_DIR that you no longer require, use the following command.

EXEC UTL_FILE.FREMOVE('DATA_PUMP_DIR','filename');

To delete all files in DATA_PUMP_DIR, you could you something below..

begin
    for i in (select filename from 
    table(RDSADMIN.RDS_FILE_UTIL.LISTDIR('MY_DIR')) where type='file')
    loop
    UTL_FILE.FREMOVE ('DATA_PUMP_DIR', i.filename);
    end loop;
end;
/

Please test the script/procedure in non-production before moving on to production and acknowledge the answer.
