Running Linux scripts from Bamboo that require sudo

Question

I need to remove the /opt/poky folder on my build agent machine, but cannot find a way to do it from Bamboo.  It requires root permissions (sudo) however I cannot use sudoers for this to bypass password entry for sudo, and all my efforts fail.  Is there a secure way to do this from a Bamboo inline script, or running a local build agent script, in Ubuntu 14.04?

Try using any of the workarounds from https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-bsd-sudo-sorry-you-must-haveattytorun/

Yes, specifically:   "sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified."

While that same script run locally does not require a sudo password.

The sudoers file did not have a tty requirement, but after failing for some time, I added:  Defaults   !requiretty

However, this addition also does not work.

Whats the error you get when the script tries to sudo? Is it a tty error?
