Please look at the bottom of this page (under Support Policy Summary) for our support policy summary, containing important information regarding our working hours and our support policy. Thank you!

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Please attach a ZIP file containing your Akeeba Backup log file in order for us to help you with any backup or restoration issue. If the file is over 2Mb, please upload it on your server and post a link to it.

Description of my issue:

We have integrated Akeeba into the automated DEVOPS toolchain of Joomla wich is used with a third party sotwae. We were advised to use the Akeeba module (Pro) to generate the jpa package and use Akeeba Unite (4.0.3) to deploy this jpa package automatically.
Package deployment is working, but we have a problem when we want to rollback to an earlier version of our application: the files added by the current version are not removed by the installation of the previous version.

Is there an option during the construction of the package or during its deployement which allow to delete the added files by the previous package?
Any tips or best practices to have any solution of our needs ?

Hello,

yes, you are right, added files are not automatically deleted. That's by design since it's a too powerful option for the average user.
However, since you are running UNiTE on your own servers from CLI, you can simply wrap the restoration process inside a script that will delete the whole folder and then starts the restoration.
This is the fastest and easiest solution.
