Re: [Vala] deleting folders
You obviously can't, but you can do the following: string file_name = file_info.get_name (); var file = directory.get_child (file_name); And after that, you can call file.delete(). Regards, Victor.

Re: [Vala] deleting folders
My last message was incomplete. I meant that you can't get a GLib.File directly from a GLib.FileInfo object, but you can do it using the way I suggested. Hope this helps.
