Thread: Unable to delete file in button event

Hi!

I want to delete file button click, but file is not deleting.

I tried to delete in main code & code is working.

 file = new File(pathFileLocation);
        if (file.exists()){
            System.out.println("file found");
 
            if (file.delete()){
                System.out.println("del");
            }else{
                System.out.println("not del");
            }
 
        }

how can i delete file on button event ?

need help.

Thanks

yes in same folder.

when file delete failed then i was surprised.

Then i add same code in start up & file deleted.

I again put file in same location & tried same code in button event & find file is not deleting.

--- Update ---

problem found, in start up i was reading that file but forget to close.

as i add file.close()

every thing works perfect.
