Java Delete Files

In Java, you can delete multiple files using the java.io.File class and its delete method, or using the java.nio.file.Files class and its delete method.

Here is an example of how to delete multiple files in Java using the File class:

import java.io.File;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Set the file paths
    String[] filePaths = {
      "C:\\path\\to\\file1.txt",
      "C:\\path\\to\\file2.txt",
      "C:\\path\\to\\file3.txt"
    };

    // Delete the files
    for (String filePath : filePaths) {
      File file = new File(filePath);
      if (file.delete()) {
        System.out.println("File deleted successfully: " + filePath);
      } else {
        System.out.println("Failed to delete file: " + filePath);
      }
    }
  }
}

This code sets an array of file paths, and then iterates over the array, deleting each file using the delete method of the File class. If the file is deleted successfully, the delete method returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

You can also use the java.nio.file.Files class and its delete method to delete multiple files in Java. Here is an example:

import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Set the file paths
    Path[] filePaths = {
      Paths.get("C:\\path\\to\\file1.txt"),
      Paths.get("C:\\path\\to\\file2.txt"),
      Paths.get("C:\\path\\to\\file3.txt")
    };

    // Delete the files
    for (Path filePath : filePaths) {
      try {
        Files.delete(filePath);
        System.out.println("File deleted successfully: " + filePath);
      } catch (IOException e) {
        System.out.println("Failed to delete file: " + filePath);
        e.printStackTrace();
      }
    }
  }
}

This code sets an array of Path objects, and then iterates over the array, deleting each file using the delete method of the Files class. If the file is deleted successfully, the delete method does not throw an exception; otherwise, it throws an IOException, which you must handle or declare in your code.

Note that the delete method from the Files class is a more flexible and powerful way to delete files, as it supports various options and modes. For example, you can use the deleteIfExists method to delete a file only if it exists, or you can use the NOFOLLOW_LINKS option to delete a symbolic link without deleting the target file.
