Automatically Delete Files/Folders
Maybe you're just looking for a combination of file.remove and list.files? Maybe something like:
do.call(file.remove, list(list.files("C:/Temp", full.names = TRUE)))And I guess you can filter the list of files down to those whose names match a certain pattern using grep or grepl, no?
dir_to_clean <- tempdir() #or wherever#create some junk to test it withfile.create(file.path( dir_to_clean, paste("test", 1:5, "txt", sep = ".")))#Now remove them (no need for messing about with do.call)file.remove(dir( dir_to_clean, pattern = "^test\\.[0-9]\\.txt$", full.names = TRUE))You can also use unlink as an alternative to file.remove.
