The information below concerns legacy mobile tests that work with mobile devices connected to the local computer. For new mobile tests, we recommend using the newer cloud-compatible approach.

The fully-qualified path (including the name) of the folder or file to be deleted. Case-sensitive.

Result Value

True if the file or folder has been deleted successfully; False otherwise.

Example

The sample code below demonstrates how to delete a file from the connected Android device:

JavaScript, JScript

function Test()
{

  var fileSystemManager = Mobile.Device("MyDevice").FileSystemManager;

  // Copies a file from the computer to the device
  var pathOnHost = "C:\\Work Folders\\TestComplete Work Folder\\Orders.apk";
  var pathOnDevice = "system/app/";
  fileSystemManager.CopyToDevice(pathOnHost, pathOnDevice);

  …

  // Deletes the file from the device
  fileSystemManager.Delete("system/app/Orders.apk");

}

Python

def Test():
  fileSystemManager = Mobile.Device("MyDevice").FileSystemManager

  # Copies a file from the computer to the device
  pathOnHost = "C:\\Work Folders\\TestComplete Work Folder\\Orders.apk"
  pathOnDevice = "system/app/"
  fileSystemManager.CopyToDevice(pathOnHost, pathOnDevice)

  # ...

  # Deletes the file from the device
  fileSystemManager.Delete("system/app/Orders.apk")

VBScript

Sub Test

  Set fileSystemManager = Mobile.Device("MyDevice").FileSystemManager

  ' Copies a file from the computer to the device
  pathOnHost = "C:\Work Folders\TestComplete Work Folder\Orders.apk"
  pathOnDevice = "system/app/"
  Call fileSystemManager.CopyToDevice(pathOnHost, pathOnDevice)

  …

  ' Deletes the file from the device
  Call fileSystemManager.Delete("system/app/Orders.apk")

End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure Test();
var fileSystemManager, pathOnHost, pathOnDevice;
begin

  fileSystemManager := Mobile.Device('MyDevice').FileSystemManager;

  // Copies a file from the computer to the device
  pathOnHost := 'C:\Work Folders\TestComplete Work Folder\Orders.apk';
  pathOnDevice := 'system/app/';
  fileSystemManager.CopyToDevice(pathOnHost, pathOnDevice);

  …

  // Deletes the file from the device
  fileSystemManager.Delete('system/app/Orders.apk');

end;
