Delete file contents every 24 hours

"Is there a way for the bot to delete the contents of a file every 24 hours, and if it hasn't been 24 hours, it checks and doesn't delete the file's content? Is this possible, and if so, how can I do it?"

When you create a file, add DateTime in filename. And when you take a file check filename and compare if it's older than 24h.

Ao criar um arquivo, adicione DateTime no nome do arquivo. E quando você pega um arquivo, verifique o nome do arquivo e compare se ele tem mais de 24h.

Não entendi essa segunda parte. Como alguém criaria uma função que compara e verifica se já se passaram mais de 24 horas? Você poderia me explicar mais claramente?"

I didn't understand this second part. How would one create a function that compares and checks if it has been more than 24 hours? Could you explain it to me more clearly?"

Thats the logic to achieve what you asked. When you create this file you give it a name with Date and Time in a file-name.
Then with every next run you take this filename, and you have a starting date.
Then you get Date Time NOW and you have actual date time.
Difference between those date times will be your required value, more or less than 24 hours.

Try searching forum for "DateTime " to find lots of C# snippets to make your life much easier.

So I researched, didn't see anything that fits, I understood what you said well, I just didn't understand the last part. What function would I have to use for it to analyze and see that the current day has more than 24 hours than the file name

You can use UNIX time, it's made exactly for tasks like this one, that way you can delete it correctly after exactly 24 hours not a minute more or less =)
