Azure App Service (Linux) CI/CD build does not remove files that were deleted from repository

I'm using Azure App Service (Linux) App Service Build Service (CI/CD) to deploy a PHP application.

I removed the files (package.json, eraseme.php), but those files are not deleted from /wwwroot when the site is deployed to Azure.

The Azure App Service Build Service does the following:

Clones the repository to a local directory path "/repository".
Runs package.json and composer.json to install dependencies.
Copies "/repository" to "/wwwroot".
When I list the contents of the "/repository" directory, my deleted files are NOT THERE. This directory properly reflects the 'master' branch of my GIT repository.

However, when the files are moved to "/wwwroot", the package.json and eraseme.php files ARE STILL THERE.

Has anyone else run into this issue? If so, I would appreciate any guidance that you are willing to offer.

    Hi @Michael van Olden ,

    The Azure App Service Deploy task has a RemoveAdditionalFilesFlag setting. Set that to true to remove the files that's on the destination. That should remove package.json and eraseme.php.

    Regards,
    Ryan
