Hi There, What would be the quickest way to delete the contents in the documents directory. I have a list of the contents loaded into an NSArray but I'm not sure of the objective c on how to delete safely. I've googled for a solution but cant seem to find anything. Thanks for your help. PS, can you recommend a good book for Begginners on iphone programming Tony

A: 

NSFileManager handles all the filesystem operations, including file deletion.

Specifically, you want NSFileManager's -(BOOL)removeItemAtPath:(NSString *)path error:(NSError **)error this is documented in the SDK.

There aren't many iPhone programming books but I think Dave Mark and Jeff LaMarche's Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK is one of the best introductions.
