Hi, Are you on Windows ?
It's long-standing issue on Windows IIRC : https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/365713/deleting-shapefile-python-lock-qgis-3-10 or other links. Maybe lyr = QgsProject.instance().mapLayersByName(diff_layer)[0] QgsProject.instance().removeMapLayer(lyr.id()) lyr = None del lyr But not a real answer ... FYI, a nice helper to know side car files: https://qgis.org/api/classQgsFileUtils.html#a8db232d5063ae13133fa2d3351be1b9c Le mar. 22 févr. 2022 à 18:07, pierluigi de rosa <pierluigi.der...@gmail.com> a écrit : > Dear all, > > I have some troubles wher I use in a pyqgis the function > QgsVectorFileWriter.deleteShapeFile(file_path) > here below the example: > > def removeLayer(path_layer): > # remove layer from TOC if already loaded > basefile = os.path.basename(path_layer) > diff_layer = os.path.splitext(basefile)[0] > directory = os.path.dirname(path_layer) > extensions = ["shp", "shx", "dbf", "prj", "sbn", "sbx", "fbn", "fbx", > "ain", "aih", "ixs", "mxs", "atx", "xml", > "cpg", "qix"] > output_path=path_layer > if os.path.exists(path_layer): > if len(QgsProject.instance().mapLayersByName(diff_layer)) > 0: > lyr = QgsProject.instance().mapLayersByName(diff_layer)[0] > print('renaming layer1: ', lyr.id()) > QgsProject.instance().removeMapLayer(lyr.id()) > > QgsVectorFileWriter.deleteShapeFile(path_layer) > > Often some handles still remains and I'm not able to delete .dbf and .shp > files > How can I solve this error? > > Thanks > Pierluigi > > -- > Ing.
