iPhone/Objective C: Can't delete a file

The url encoded file path looks suspicious to me. I read somewhere that iPhone file paths should be represented as URL these days, but I don't think spaces need to be url encoded.

Try removing the %20's from your path and trying again?

I let the file path be:**/Users/andrei/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Applications/0547AE74-AD10-4BEF-98CF-8FFF5BB2F70F/Documents/1280913694.caf**so, no %20, and now...which is weird, it tells me that the file does not exist (returns 0 at fileExistsAtPath), but also that the file is deletable (returns 1 at isDeletableFileAtPath).The error still remains and is not deleting the file.

Could you please post the code you're using to retrieve the path?

Are you able to test this on the device to rule out some strange issue involving the simulator's application path?

Jasarien 2010-08-04 11:36:11

Nope, I can't, I don't have a testing device, just XCode.

Andrei 2010-08-04 11:43:42

I can't see anything obviously wrong in the code, so I don't know what to suggest other than trying to test it on a device, if you can get hold of one. A second hand iPod touch would be sufficient, and quite cheap.

In a terminal, try ls -l /Users/andrei/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/User/Applications/0547AE74-AD10-4BEF-98CF-8FFF5BB2F70F/Documents/1280913694.caf and see what the permissions say. They should look something like this: "-rw-r--r--" followed by a number and then your username and "staff" as separate words.
