delete a zip file

Hi all,

I want to delete a zip file . I wrote the following code but it was not work,I could not understand my wrog, please help me. Thank you

zipDeleteAll("Backup") // the archive name is Backup
fDelete("C:\Backup.zip")

Hi emirhan,

may be the problem is that you did not zipClose() your archive so it is still in use ?

Emirhan,

zipDeleteAll removes all files from the archive. After removing that archive is still opened by your application. To close i use a zipClose before the fDelete.

Hi, this works fine for me

in a button i have the code
LOCAL
ResOpenZip is int
ZipPAth is string = "C:\TEMP\Backup.zip"

ResOpenZip = zipOpen("MonArchive", ZipPAth)
IF ResOpenZip = 0 THEN zipClose("MonArchive")
IF NOT fDelete(ZipPAth) THEN ErreurInfo(errMessage)

Hi everybody,
I still could not solve the problem. I could not delete the zip file by using the following code;

ResOpenZip = zipOpen("Backup","C:\Backup.zip")
IF ResOpenZip = 0 THEN
zipClose("Backup")
END

IF NOT fDelete("C:\Backup.zip") THEN
ErrorInfo(errMessage)
END

I created the archive "Backup" before.

The error message is "Archive already found"

Strange,

I even used your code and it works!

Seems to that there is something hanging in Cache
or you don't have rights to delete file(s)

Try the following:
create an Backupzip file from a file with a different name like ToDeleteBackup.zip
and execute again with that name and us a different name for the openening

ResOpenZip = zipOpen("AnyName"; "C:\ToDeleteBackup.zip")

IF ResOpenZip = 0 THEN
zipClose("AnyName")
END


IF NOT fDelete("C:\ToDeleteBackup.zip") THEN
ErrorInfo(errMessage + cr + errComplet)
END

Create an bat file with the following code

@ECHO ON

REM delete the zip file
DEL C:\BACKUP.ZIP

PAUSE


name it DeleteZip.BAT and save in a folder you chooose, go to that folder

and click on it

when this process not delete the file you want, than you have no rights

Hi,

:confused: zipDeleteAll("Backup")
Am I the only one that doesn't understand why you use zipdelete before deleting the zipfile?

Hello Emirhan,

I had a familiar problem with fDelete. fDelete gave me an error in a window with the Independent Hyperfile Context activated. When I deactivated that fDelete worked like expected. Don't ask me why, but it is worth trying.

HTH.
