Attributes

Remarks

Deletes a file.

Unlike the Files#delete delete() method, this method does not first examine the file to determine if the file is a directory. Whether a directory is deleted by this method is system dependent and therefore not specified. If the file is a symbolic link, then the link itself, not the final target of the link, is deleted. When the parameter is a relative path then the file to delete is relative to this open directory.
