Example:
Consider an example where the "Delete Credentials" activity is used to remove stored credentials for a network address:
Delete Credentials:
Display Name: "Remove Network Credentials"
Target Name: "\\server\share"
Result: isDeletionSuccessful
In this example, the activity deletes the credentials associated with the network address "\server\share" from the Windows Credential Manager. The result of the operation (success or failure) is stored in the Boolean variable "isDeletionSuccessful" for further handling in the workflow.
Note: Ensure that the target name is specified before executing this activity.
