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.
Example

ClientThis snippet nukes the contents of your client-side resource. It can be used as protective measure when client-side files should not be leaked to curious users.
