Deleting file is a common daily operations. I will show you how to delete file in java. The example code is here.
public class DeleteFile {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
File noExistFile = new File("noExist.txt");
boolean deleteNoExistResult = noExistFile.delete();
System.out.println("delete no exist file result: " + deleteNoExistResult);
File tobeDeleted = new File("/tmp/tobeDeleted.txt");
boolean createFileResult = tobeDeleted.createNewFile();
System.out.println("create file result:" + createFileResult);
boolean deleteExistResult = tobeDeleted.delete();
System.out.println("delete exist file result: " + deleteExistResult);
}
}
The result of deleting is "true" means delete this file successfully; otherwise delete failed.
output
delete no exist file result: false
create file result:true
delete exist file result: true
