Deleting a File¶
To delete a file from the Backendless file storage, it must be identified by the file path/name. Files in the Backendless storage have the following URL structure:
https://api.backendless.com/<application id>/<REST API key>/files/<path>/<file name>
The API to delete a file uses the <path>/<filename>
part to identify the file which must be deleted.
Backendless.Files.remove( filePath ) .then( function() { }) .catch( function( error ) { });
where:
Argument | Description |
---|---|
filePath |
Path of the file to delete. The path must consist of the file path and file name. |
Return Value¶
None.
Example¶
Backendless.Files.remove( "my-folder/myfile.txt" ) .then( function() { console.log( "file has been deleted" ); }) .catch( function( error ) { console.log( "error - " + error.message ); });
