How to delete a qvd file

[#1]

Hello,

Someone can tell me how to delete a qvd file?

Maybe something like: drop file '...\file_name.qvd'

Thank you very much.

I've tryed:   EXECUTE '...\Etape1.qvd' (qvd);

but it didn't work.

DIRECTORY;

t2: load rowno() as id autogenerate 100;

store t2 into t2.qvd (qvd);

EXECUTE cmd.exe /c del /q   t2.qvd;

[ramoncova06]

can I ask what do you want to delete the QVD ?

It would probably be better if you did this outside of QV and use a scheduler/bat file for windows maintenance

Thank you very much, with this method, it pop up a probleme of security.

But thank you all the same.

Why don't you delete the QVD file where it stores to and then comment out your store into script and then reload again.

You are right, but I just don't want to delete it myself .

I think a warning, if you check this but usually it works (desktop and server)

You need to allow Script (Allow Database Write and Execute Statements) in User Preferences/Security tab.
