remove() Delete() DeleteFile() Issues

[vfxman]

I'm trying to delete a .txt file from a folder within the ScriptUI Panels folder and it just isn't working for me. I can verify the path correctly and I can read, write and delete content within the file, but I cannot remove the file from the computer at all. I've tried...

My path is "/Applications/Adobe After Effects CS4/Scripts/ScriptUI Panels/myFolder/myfile.txt"

Code: Select all

var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
	goneFile = fso.GetFile(fullPath);
	goneFile.Delete();

Code: Select all

File.remove(fullPath);

Code: Select all

File.DeleteFile(fullPath);

Code: Select all

File.DeleteFile(fullPath.toString());

Code: Select all

fullPath.DeleteFile();

Code: Select all

fullPath.remove();

but I can't get it to delete. Any thoughts?

This should work:

var myPath = "/Applications/Adobe After Effects CS4/Scripts/ScriptUI Panels/myFolder/myfile.txt";
var myFile = File(myPath);
myFile.remove();
