aa2zz6 Posted July 30, 2018 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
FrancescoDiMuro Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 @aa2zz6 Does FileDelete() returns 0 or 1? Click here to see my signature: Reveal hidden contents ALWAYS GOOD TO READ: Forum Rules Forum Etiquette
ViciousXUSMC Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 I'd check for a service or process to have a hook on that file(s)

pixelsearch Posted July 30, 2018 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) "I think you are searching a bug where there is no bug... don't listen to bad advice."
