How to delete a file?

What is the best way to delete a file? Is it deleteObject?

Hi,

You should be able to just use the Lua standard os library.

os.remove( filename )

Deletes the file or directory with the given name. Directories must be empty to be removed. If this function fails, it returns nil, plus a string describing the error.

Let me know.

Cheers.

What about removing files from the cloud, though?  When I use os.remove or system.os.remove, I get an error, saying that system is a nil value.  Is there a “require” statement that I need in order to call os.remove from the cloud?

Develephant, just to make sure I give you the most accurate information, here is what I know about which version of coronium we are using:

     From the Coronium Cloud Administration Page, the bottom left corners says 1.93.1.  

     From localhost/_settings, it says Beta 1.92.

     And in the mod_coronium.lua file, it says “Coronium module for Corona SDK v1.92.5”.

So, in short, I don’t really know which version we’re using.  But I hope this gives you the information you need.

Develephant, I still havent been able to figure out how to delete a file in Coronium and it is pretty vital to our game. Have you had a chance to run any more tests?
