delete file in matlab

To delete a file in MATLAB, you can use the built-in delete function. The syntax of the function is as follows:

main.m
delete(filename)
17 chars
2 lines

where filename is a string specifying the name of the file to be deleted. For example, to delete a file named data.txt in the current working directory, you can use the following code:

main.m
delete('data.txt');
20 chars
2 lines

If the file is not in the current working directory, you need to specify the full or relative path to the file. For example, to delete a file named out.png in a folder named images located in the parent directory, you can use the following code:

main.m
delete('../images/out.png');
29 chars
2 lines

You can also use the unlink function, which is equivalent to delete in MATLAB:

main.m
unlink(filename)
17 chars
2 lines

Both functions return a logical value indicating whether the deletion was successful.
