Delete Files from a lib

Hello all,

 

A very simple need : I would like to delete some files in my libraries. Some use cases :

1/I don't need it anymore
2/I changed the name
3/I miswrite the path to save the qvd.. ooopsi, doopsie, a 10 GB file is generated.

I think being able to delete a file in script (without using a cmd.exe that require to be in legacy mode) would really improve my life but also my customers lives.

since there is no access to delete the files,  in our case we reposted the unused files with less or no data to reduce the space.
