Can't delete JSON file

CrimsonCrow98

Hello,

I've been reading about file deletion and I am aware that you need to call close() on a stream before deleting it. However I cannot call close() on a JSONObject and therefore I cannot delete the .json file by declaring a File object and calling File.delete() (it returns false). I tried setting the JSONObject to null and call System.gc(); before deleting but to no avail.

You can try but I didn't test myself:

File  f = new File("yourFile.json");
f.delete();

I did that as well, forgot to mention it. Will edit my post.

I have : boolean isDir = f.isDirectory(); if (isDir) { scenes = loadJSONArray("scenes.json"); } else { f.delete(); }
