gFileDelete {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gFileDelete

### Description

Deletes a file. If the `file` is a directory, it will only be deleted if it is empty.

### Usage

    gFileDelete(object, cancellable = NULL, .errwarn = TRUE)

### Arguments

``object`` | input `GFile`.
``cancellable`` | optional `GCancellable` object, `NULL` to ignore.
`.errwarn` | Whether to issue a warning on error or fail silently

### Details

If `cancellable` is not `NULL`, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error `G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED` will be returned.

### Value

A list containing the following elements:

`retval` | [logical] `TRUE` if the file was deleted. `FALSE` otherwise.
