How to delete all contents in a directory using Ansible

- name: Create a directory if it does not exist
 file:
  path: /appvol/some_directory
  state: directory
  mode: '0755'
 
- name: Remove a directory if it exists
 file:
  path: /appvol/some_directory
  state: absent

- name: Create a file if it does not exist
 file:
  path: /appvol/some_directory/hello.txt
  state: touch
  mode: '0755'
 
 
- name: Remove a file if it exists
 file:
  path: /appvol/some_directory/hello.txt
  state: absent

#First use the shell module to get all the file names in the directory and store them in a variable files_list
- name: list the files of dir some_directory
 shell: ls
 args:
  chdir: /appvol/some_directory
 register: files_list
 
#Use the with_items attribute to output the files_list variable in the form of lines, and then use the file module to loop and delete each file - name: Remove a directory if it does not exist
 file:
  path: /appvol/some_directory/{{ item }}
  state: absent
 with_items:
  - "{{ files_list.stdout_lines }}"
