Delete file

[Adam Teg]

In my program, I open a file and after processing try to delete it. It will not delete. When I try to delete it mannually, it tells me it is being used by my program. I close the file readers in my program, what else can I do?

Thanks

I had a similar problem. Then I put the statement

file.delete()

after closing all streams to read/write. It got deleted successfully. In your case you are saying you have closed streams. Can you give a rough picture of your code?

do what the other guy said...

or maybe try to null the object when you are done with it and create a new one witht the absolute path name, then .delete();
