# Remove All Content From File Collection

### General

This type of action can be used to set the value of a local variable. A local variable is only valid for the context in which it is set; this means:

- If you use this type of action to set a local variable in a [Task](/release34/docs/tasks), the local variable can be accessed from [Expression](/release34/docs/introduction-to-mail-and-deploy-expressions) within that task.
- If you use this type of action to set a local variable in a [Report](/release34/docs/introduction-to-reports), the local variable can be accessed from any [Expression](/release34/docs/introduction-to-mail-and-deploy-expressions) within that report.

### Properties

This type of action has the following properties:

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Name | The name of the local variable you want to set. If that local variable already exists in the applicable context, its value will be overwritten. |
| Value | An [Expression](/release34/docs/introduction-to-mail-and-deploy-expressions) that evaluates to value to set the local variable to. The expression can return any possible return value (there is no limitation to e.g. primitive types such as numbers, strings, etc.). |
