Hello,

I have a work folder and a folder "IsDone".
C:\Share\Work\
C:\Share\IsDone\

I need to delete files there without asking that are older than 20 days. How can I do this without blocking the application?

I need one thread, one task, Factory/parallel.
When I close the application, how do I stop this process?
Do you have an example with please?

Thanks!

    OK, thanks, looks good!
    Question answered. Thank you very much.

    Last questions for understanding.

    I could also do this with TASK? Which do you think would be better? Can you compare the two?
    What are the advantages of TASK over Background Thread?

    When should i take what?
