Hi, I am looking for some R code, which will delete all files in a Folder that contains both Locked and Unlocked files. There are many, therefore i would like to delete all files programmatically in one go.
I used following code : ## "SS" is the Folder name including entire path which contains Locked and Unlocked files. file.remove(file.path(ss, list.files(ss))) [1] FALSE Warning messages: 1: In file.remove(file.path(ss, list.files(ss))) : cannot remove file '..... my folder path...', reason 'Read-only file system' Also when I tried to delete a single Locked file, I am getting following error: Warning message: In file.remove(ss1) : cannot remove file '/..... my folder path...', reason 'Operation not permitted' I am using Mac with OS : 10.7.5 Could you please help me with correct R code? ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
