Hi Thomas, I checked, file is present. Here is my sample script: import os filename = "C:\SHAMBHU\tmp\text_delete.txt" os.unlink(filename)
File "C:\SHAMBHU\tmp\text_delete.txt" is accessible but "C:\\SHAMBHU\ \tmp\\text_delete.txt" is not (with extra backslash in path which is added by os.unlink). Regards. Shambhu.
