Delete a File

You can delete an existing file from a folder in the File Store by calling the delete() method and referring to the file with the file instance. This will delete the file permanently.

The <FILE_INSTANCE> used in the code below is an instance created for the specific file, as shown in the sample code snippet. This will refer to the file from the specific folder that must be deleted by its unique File ID.

    

        
copy
        

            

        
    
    

         
<FILE_INSTANCE>.delete(
    success: () → Unit,
    failure: ((ZCatalystException) → Unit)?
): ZCatalystRequest<Unit>?
    

A sample code snippet is shown below:

    

        
copy
        

            

        
    
    

         
ZCatalystApp.getInstance().getFileStoreInstance().getFolderInstance(2823000000006544).getFile(2823000000006589, //Replace this with your Folder ID and File ID
    {
        file -> file.delete(
        {
            println("File Deleted successfully")
        })
    },
    {
                exception -> println("Delete File Failed $exception")
    })
