Delete files and directories

Problem I want to delete a file or directory, how do I do it ?

Solution. One way is following the next snippet. Observe well there is an asymmetry in the way the delete message behaves in case the file or directory is non existent.

"No error if file does not exist"
'/home/p/testFile.txt' asFileEntry delete. 

"There is an error if the directory does not exist "
'/home/p/testDir' asDirectoryEntry delete.
