Similar to this post Delete Files on EPIC /Unsecured via PAC Control

I am getting the -408 when attempting to delete files from PAC Control in the root of the unsecured files on firmware 3.4.4-b.128.

Logic:

  SetCommunicationHandleValue(sScratch1, chDelete);
  OpenOutgoingCommunication(chDelete);
  nDeleteLogStatus = SendCommunicationHandleCommand(chDelete, "delete");
  CloseCommunication(chDelete);

chDelete is set to file:a,~/unsecured/0000-00-03.csv

I’m using the same logic to delete files from a USB drive, and that is working fine. Not sure what I am doing wrong on the unsecured area.

Uh, yeah… that does not look right.
Good post by the way, got everything needed…

I concur, it looks like everything is correct, only it does not work.
Can you please hit up support and a red ‘like’ heart if you come back and let us know what you find.

Okay, I will send it off to PSG.

The delete command doesn’t support the home alias. So instead of using
file:a,~/unsecured/0000-00-03.csv,
use
file:a,/home/dev/unsecured/0000-00-03.csv

Huh. Explicit paths. Not the first time I have messed that up.
Thanks a ton. I totally did not see the ~ in your first post as its just ‘the way of the Linux’.
Good to know. Thanks very much for getting back to the thread.
