Parameters

fileTransfer

The OPC UA file transfer object that will perform the operation.

endpointDescriptor

Endpoint descriptor. Identifies the OPC-UA server.

directoryNodeDescriptor

Node descriptor of the OPC UA directory.

existingFileOrDirectoryName

A name of the OPC UA file or directory to delete.

Return Value

Recommendation: Whenever possible, do not use this method directly, and use a higher-level abstraction instead. See e.g. the GetWritableFileInfo(IEasyUAFileTransfer,UAEndpointDescriptor,UANamedNodeDescriptor) and GetWritableDirectoryContents(IEasyUAFileTransfer,UAEndpointDescriptor,UANamedNodePath) methods, which allow you to obtain objects that can be used to manage files and directories, in a way that is generic and not tied to OPC UA specifics.
