deleting random access file in java

Question

I've created a random access file as follows:

 RandomAccessFile aFile = null;
 aFile = new RandomAccessFile(NetSimView.filename, "rwd");

I want to delete the file "afile". can anyone suggest me how to do it?

Answer 1

You can do that:

File f = new File(NetSimView.filename);
f.delete();

Edit, regarding your comment:

The parameter NetSimView.filename seems to be a File and not a String that contains the path to the file. So simply do:

NetSimView.filename.delete();
