How to delete a file within thread using

phamvanan

I try to use:
@QFile("C:/abc.mp3").close();
QFile("C:/abc.mp3").remove();@
but not working.
Get a error:
@error: C2352: 'QFile::close' : illegal call of non-static member function@

i don't believe that this is the actual code you are using!
Why don't you post the correct code when you expect us to help you?!

I assume you call a member of type QFile out of a static method, right?

phamvanan

I'm really sorry you,
I get error above when i use:
@QFile::close();@
in my class. So, I try other away,
@ QFile("C:/abc.mp3").close();
QFile("C:/abc.mp3").remove();
@
But also file not deleted.

That right,
@void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
QFile::close();
QFile("c:/des/1 (1).iso").close();
this->destination->remove("c:/des/1 (1).iso");
}@

destination is variable QDir type

QFile::close() is not a static function so remove this line and use it like in line 4.
@
QFile file("c:/des/1 (1).iso");
file.close();
qDebug() << "QFile::remove()" << file.remove();
qDebug() << "QFile::errorString()" << file.errorString();
@
What are the outputs of this code?

phamvanan

Hi, outputs as below:
@QFile::remove() false
QFile::errorString() "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.@

you can use "ProcessExplorer":http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx and check which process is holding the handle to that file.
If it's your application check your code again where you "open":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qfile.html#open it and make sure you close it properly. If it's another application there is nothing you can do...
