Any way to delete all files in a specific directory?

[Heffer]

So I wanna delete all my files in my directory because I cant be asked to delete them manually. I wrote this script which I think should of worked but it said "Malformed file name" when I executed my script. Here it is:

string[] files = File.FindFiles("r/documents");
number numFiles = Array.Length(files);
number fileIndex = 1;

while(fileIndex <= numFiles){
StringResult deletefile = File.Delete("r/documents", Util.ToString(files);
fileIndex = fileIndex + 1;

if(deletefile.GetResult()){
Console.WriteLine("deleting files");

}else{
Console.WriteLine("Error:"..deletefile.GetString());
}

}


If anyone can find the issue with this script then I'll highly appreciate it. Idk if its even possible so can someone clarify if it's even possible to do this. Thanks xx

looks like you forgot a ) after the util.tostring

isnt writing a mnscript longer than just ctrl+v file.delete file name?

turns out this is impossible to do as you have to specify the filename.

It's possible, you just need to delete an individual file each iteration. You also need to request admin privilege in order to delete files.
Example:

using File;
using Console;
using Array;
using Util;
using Application;
using System;

StringResult reqadmin = Application.RequestAdminPrivilege();
string dir = "r/documents";

string[] files = File.FindFiles("r/documents");
number numFiles = Array.Length(files);
number fileIndex = 1;

Console.WriteLine("Found "..Util.ToString(numFiles).." files!");

while(fileIndex <= numFiles){
    string filename = files[fileIndex]);
    File.Delete(dir, filename);
    Console.WriteLine(fileIndex..". "..filename.." deleted");
    fileIndex = fileIndex + 1;
}
