How do I use JSL to completely remove files from my hard drive?

Hi!
For example, delete path c:\1.txt completely, instead of putting it in the recycle bin.
With JSL.
Thanks!

@lwx228,
You can use the Delete File function. If you look at the scripting index description of the function, the function has a second optional argument.

FilePath = "C:\Test.xlsx";


Delete File(FilePath,0);
