I’m trying to delete a CSV file that has red by CSVReader object (comes with opencsv library). End of the file reading process, I wanted to delete it. So I’m trying it with f.delete(); (f is the file object) but It doesn’t working for some times. The CSVREader object has correctly closed with reader.close(); .

I have tried this with a test java class and I deletes successfully .

File f = new File(“E:\\LogData\\NewGlog_0001_20140202191120.csv”);
f.delete();
I feel it is a problem with the openCSV. plz help me.
Thank in advance.
First, check your write permissions on the file (e.g. with f.canWrite())
If you read a file you should then close it. Otherwise it stays in use.
Make sure reading the csv file has been handled properly, i.e.
try (Reader reader = openReader(..)) {
If you need it to remain open, you can use file.deleteOnExit() which will delete the file whenever the VM is shut down.
