# delete_file

Definition: | bool res = delete_file(string filename)
Description: | Delete a file. filename: the name of the file to delete. Returns: false (0) on failure, true (1) on success.
pwa/p2js: | Not supported.
Comments: | Unlike some other routines here, any path separators should be appropriate for the operating system, namely backslash ('\\') on Windows and forwardslash ('/') on Linux. If in doubt (not already a result from the top half of the table) pass src/dest through get_proper_path() and/or get_proper_dir() before passing them to this routine.
Implementation: | See builtins\pfile.e (an autoinclude) for details of the actual implementation.
