Why would you delete files in this manner? It's more efficient to delete them
directly from your Objective C code, thus:
NSArray *fileArray = [@"path1",@"path2"];
for (NSString *filename in fileArray)
{
[fileMgr removeItemAtPath:filename error:NULL];
}
You already know what paths you need to use…
I hope that this helps.
