Answer 1

If one wants to delete a file but does not want to specify the full filename you can use the below.

Can also be used to delete many files or all files in a directory with a specific extension...

file = Rails.root.join("tmp", "foo*") 

or

file = Rails.root.join("tmp", ".pdf")  

---

files = Dir.glob(file) #will build an array of the full filepath & filename(s)
files.each do |f|
  File.delete(f)
end
