aa2zz6 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I am having trouble getting AutoIt to delete a file inside our ArcMap folder. I tried including a #requireadmin but that didn't work. I'll provide the example code and a blank copy of the .gdb file below if someone can help. Thanks #include <WinAPIFiles.au3> $sFilePath = "C:\EIS\EISMASTER\eis shape\ArcMap\New File Geodatabase.gdb" FileDelete($sFilePath) File Geodatabase.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancescoDiMuro Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 @aa2zz6 Does FileDelete() returns 0 or 1? Click here to see my signature: Spoiler ALWAYS GOOD TO READ: Forum Rules Forum Etiquette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViciousXUSMC Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I'd check for a service or process to have a hook on that file(s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Have you tried it with DirRemove? pixelsearch 1 If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

pixelsearch Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Hi, as BrewManNH suggested, please delete this folder with DirRemove You can't delete a folder with FileDelete() and after downloading your zip file, it turns out that "New File Geodatabase.gdb" is a folder, containing 2 files : _gdb.STR-DT-JMILLE.7132.6092.sr.lock (0 bytes) timestamps (400 bytes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
