If I understand you, you have this:

* file x uploads to temp dir by the web server

* file x moved to file y by <cffile action="upload">

* file y renamed to file z by <cffile action="rename">.

* you then try to delete file y.

At this point file y already doesn't exist, because you've RENAMED IT TO file z.  A rename operation does not result in two files, it results in one file: the original file name no longer exists; it is now the new file file name.

So, by the way you describe the operations you are performing (if I have it right), you don't need to do the delete anyhow.

?

Also you say you "can't delete the uploaded file" and you say you get an error, but you'd say what the error actually is...

What happens in the end is that i have a renamed file (from the original "picture1.jpg") to 1.jpg, so now i have 2 files. The one file the user uploaded and the one the cffile renamed. I would like to delete the picture1.jpg. I'll try and figure out another way to get rid of it like Dave said.

 

Thanks to both of you for the replies.

Do you understand that a RENAME process starts with one file, and ends up with one file (so a total of one files).  One does not end up with the "first" file and the "result" file: the first file becomes the result file.  So if one renames a file, one does not need to tidy up the original file, because it will no longer exist.

You still haven't posted the error message.  This is the most important part of asking a question about failed code behaviour: what the error message is.

File C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\pet_website\pimages\C:\ColdFusion9\runtime\ser vers\coldfusion\SERVER-INF\temp\wwwroot-tmp\neotmp1225387943055644545 . tmp specified in action delete does not exist.

 

42 :           file="C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\website\pimages\#FORM.FileUpload#">

 

Right.  So actually  look at the error message.  You should be able to work out what you're doing wrong.

The thing with the rename function is that it makes a copy of the original file and renames the copy,

No, it doesn't.

So now my question is this. Is there a way i can delete "everything" in the C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\website\temp_images\  if i was to make another cfm file for this function?

Make sure there are some files in C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\website\temp_image. Then do the following test beforehand.

<cfdirectory action="list" name="myDir" directory=" C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\website\temp_images" recurse="false">

<cfdump var="#myDir#">

This lets you see how ColdFusion stores the directory as a query object. The code you require follows.

<cfdirectory action="list" name="myDir" directory=" C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\website\temp_images" recurse="false">

<cfloop query="myDir">

<cfif myDir.type is "file">

  <cffile action="delete" file="#myDir.directory#\#myDir.name#" >

</cfif>

</cfloop>
