<p>imported material</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Problem&#039;&#039;&#039; I want to delete a file or directory, how do I do it ?<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Solution&#039;&#039;&#039;. One way is following the next snippet. Observe well there is an asymmetry in the way the &lt;code&gt;delete&lt;/code&gt; message behaves in case the file or directory is non existent.<br /> &quot;No error if file does not exist&quot;<br /> &#039;/home/p/testFile.txt&#039; asFileEntry delete. <br /> <br /> &quot;There is an error if the directory does not exist &quot;<br /> &#039;/home/p/testDir&#039; asDirectoryEntry delete. <br /> ----Dr. Nicola Mingotti last edited this on 06-Sep-2021.
