This function deletes an entry on the translator filesystem. If the path points at a directory, the whole content of it is recursively deleted. A typical reason when deletion may fail is when the file is opened in another OS handle. Proper clean-up of file classes can prevent this issue.
Syntax
bool translator.delete ( string path )
Arguments
- path: a path to a filesystem object that should be wiped out
Returns
This function returns true if the specified filesystem object could be completely deleted, false otherwise.
