NSFileManager: removing item

Question

The problem is removing an item that´s been written using writeToFile: method, I cannot seem to remove it. I tried NSFileManager but I guess these are two different

Answer 1

And the "for some reason": your "URL" is just a path, it's not a valid filesystem URL. For that, you would need to prepend file:// before the actual path, or even better, use [NSURL fileURLWithPath:].

Answer 2

In this place

result = [fileManager removeItemAtURL:destinationURL error:&removeError];
NSLog(@"ERROR REMOVING OBJECT: %@",removeError);

you log and do not check the result value. Is it really NO? You should check return value first, and then if it is NO, check the removeError.

And also I prefer to write

NSError * removeError = nil;

when declarate it. May be removeError object contains some old information.

Answer 3

If your file is present at that path you can try this:

    [[NSFileManager defaultManager] removeItemAtPath:[destinationURL path] error:&error];

Hope this helps.
