Cocoa - NSFileManager removeItemAtPath Not Working
(6 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
i am trying to delete a file at a particular URL,
my code iS :
NSString *str= [outputFieldURL absoluteString];
NSError *error;
BOOL success = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] removeItemAtPath:str error:&error];
if (!success) {
NSLog(#"Error removing file at path: %#", error.localizedDescription);
}
else
{
NSLog(#"File removed at path: %#", error.localizedDescription);
}
}
and am getting output :
Error removing file at path: The operation couldn’t be completed. (Cocoa error 4.)
where outputFieldURL is showing following value when i convert it into a string :
file:///var/mobile/Applications/A55A56FA-478D-4996-807D-12F0E968F969/Documents/301013125211w.m4a
this is the path where my audio with a format of .m4a is saved

Answer 1

Your path is incorrect
Use the following
NSString *str= [outputFieldURL path];
in place of
NSString *str= [outputFieldURL absoluteString];
The method "removeItemAtPath:" need the local path of file,
If you want to remove using url, you should use "removeItemAtURL:"

Answer 2

There may be case that file path which you provide is not correct. If its correct then try following with URL, it might solve your issue
NSString *str= [outputFieldURL absoluteString];
NSError *error;
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:str];
BOOL success = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] removeItemAtURL:url error:&error];
if (!success) {
NSLog(#"Error removing file at path: %#", error.localizedDescription);
}
else
{
NSLog(#"File removed at path: %#", error.localizedDescription);
}
}
