Is it possible to delete a file?

#1

I have a simple question I can’t find any answer to:

When a file is written (created) is it possible to delete the file later if needed? Not just the content, the whole file I mean… so a check like “if file then…” will get right into the else part of the if-else?

If so, how can a file be deleted from a directory?

Thank you for your help!

Yes it is possible.

Read the API documentation for LFS (lua file system) and IO provided below:

It will tell you all about how to save/load/delete files in Corona.

Thank you very much! I read the io api only and didn’t see the information in the lfs. THX!
