I'm coding an auto-updater for my CCScreensaver. The problem is, I can't delete it. No matter what I do! fs.delete, rm, delete… I need to be able to delete the file inside of CC for the auto-updater to work! It just errors with Access denied.It's MY program! Y I NO HAVE ACCESS?!

I've restarted Minecraft completely a couple of times, nothing.

restart the computer and try again(the cc computer :unsure:/> )
and if that dont works then
delete the file from the minecraft folder(Windows: %appdata%/.minecraft/saves/[yourworld]/computer/[your computer id])

Do you have something that opens the file?


--Like Startup file
file = fs.open(yourFileName,"w")

--[[
You have maybe forgotten
to close the file?
Here it would be file.close() for example..
]]--

Then if you try to delete it it will say access denied.. Otherwise I don't know how you are getting the error..

I do not know why this happened, but it randomly decided to work. Please close this topic.

You probably forgot to close it when using fs.open :P/>

I don't understand why people save the contents from the web into a new file. Why not just save it into a variable and if it's a new version or whatnot, open the file of your program and write the new contents in…
