Solved Deleting a text file

Ok i was going over some other things ive done but they arent working for this.. this is what ive got.

Code:java

if (commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("wl-clear")) {
            if (!sender.hasPermission("uhc.wl-clear")) {
                sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_RED
                        + "YOU DONT HAVE PERMISSION TO DO THIS!");
                return true;
            }
            for (OfflinePlayer players : Bukkit.getWhitelistedPlayers()) {
 
                Bukkit.getWhitelistedPlayers().remove(players);
            }
 
            File file = new File(getDataFolder(), "white-list.txt");
            if (!file.exists()) {
                file.mkdir();
                if (file.exists()) {
                    file.delete();
                    sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED
                            + "Successfully cleared the whitelist!");
                }
            } else {
                sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED
                        + "Whitelist has not been cleared!");
            }
            Bukkit.setWhitelist(true); // outside of the loop
 
        }

And i need to be able to delete the white-list.txt file in the main server folder. I want to delete it and make a new file.

Help anyone??? lol

you probably shouldn't but...

Code:

File whitelist = new File("white-list.txt");
if (whitelist.exists()) whitelist.delete();

btw.. you're saying that if it doesn't exist then make it, and immediately delete it, thats probably the problem

 

Ty Cleere
Well this might be a potential issue. On line 13 you have an if statement checking if the file DOESN'T exist, then inside that if statement you are checking if it DOES exist, which will never be true. Simply move the second if statement out of the first one
