Question

I am trying to delete a file, but somehow nsfilemanager will not allow me to do so. I do use the file in one line of code, but once that action has been ran, I want the file del

First you need to pick the path for the document directory then you can delete the file. Only remove statement is not sufficient.

   NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES); 
        NSString *documentsDirectoryPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

    NSString *databaseFile = [documentsDirectoryPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"text.txt"];

    NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
    [fileManager removeItemAtPath:databaseFile error:NULL];

use this for solving your problem.
