delete-file

I wonder whether someone may be able to help me please. I've put together this page which allows users to view their uploaded images in a gallery format. I'm now wanting to add the delete functionality to each image. I've created the button and the Javascript behind it, but I'm really not sure how to link the 'button click' with the actual physical deletion of the file. The images aren't stored in a database but are in two folder locations on my server, in the following structure: UploadedFiles/username/locationid/imagename and UploadedFiles/username/locationid/Thumbnails/imagename I'm

I had a problem with refreshing file list after deleting a file. When I gave command to delete file, the exception was thrown because the refresh method tried to access a file that was supposed to be deleted. After some thought and debuging I came to conclusion that problem was in a fact that system needs some time to delete a file. And I solve it like this: //Deleting file System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000); //Refreshing list and it worked fine. My question is Is there a more elegant way to wait for system do delete file and then continue with code...? The most elegant way I can think of is

I want to to destroy all images within a folder with PHP how can I do this? foreach(glob('/www/images/*.*') as $file) if(is_file($file)) @unlink($file); glob() returns a list of file matching a wildcard pattern. unlink() deletes the given file name (and returns if it was successful or not). The @ before PHP function names forces PHP to suppress function errors. The wildcard depends on what you want to delete. *.* is for all files, while *.jpg is for jpg files. Note that glob also returns directories, so If you have a directory named images.jpg , it will return it as well, thus causing unlink

I used the below command to delete files older than a year. find /path/* -mtime +365 -exec rm -rf {} \; But, now I want to delete all files whose modified time is older than 01 Jan 2014 How do I do it in linux. You can touch your timestamp as a file and use that as a reference point: e.g. for 01-Jan-2014: touch -t 201401010000 /tmp/2014-Jan-01-0000 find /path -type f ! -newer /tmp/2014-Jan-01-0000 | xargs rm -rf this works because find has a -newer switch that we're using. From man find : -newer file File was modified more recently than file. If file is a symbolic link and the -H option or the

How do I securely delete files in java? I tried the code at javafaq.nu , but the problem is you can't actually delete the file on windows once it has been mapped due to this bug . Then I tried just using sysinternals sdelete on windows, but you have to click a usage agreement the first time you use it which I want to avoid. On a journaling filesystem like NTFS there is actually no way to securely erase a single file without wiping all the free space on the drive. The problem is that the new blocks (which you've presumably overwritten with random data) are not guaranteed to be in the same place

Can anyone help me create a batch file? Basically, my goal is to create a batch file that will keep the LATEST 7 .txt files (in other words, the newest) in the folder and subsequently delete the rest. That's IF there are more than 7 files in the folder. The problem I'm having right now is the fact that the batch file that I have created deletes most of the files because their date is from a month or two or so. I want to keep the latest 7 files at all times no matter how old they are. So this is what I have - @echo off setlocal enableextensions rem **********************************************
