Deleting a world while the server is running

So I am trying to delete a world while the server is running, I unload it correctly and do a loop to delete the files but the region folder never gets deleted, deleting it manually gives you a warning that it's being used even though I unloaded the world with this code:

Code:

world.setKeepSpawnInMemory(false);
Bukkit.unloadWorld(world);

and the world is correctly unloaded because it doesn't show up using this command

Code:

if (label.equalsIgnoreCase("worlds")) {
    for (World w : Bukkit.getWorlds()) player.sendMessage(w.getName());
}

Any idea why this isn't working? I searched the forum and according to everybody this is supposed to work..

 

Bump (No idea if I am allowed to bump since it isn't in the rules)

 

1994mat Something like this should do the job

Code:

        if(new File(Bukkit.getWorldContainer(), "worldName").exists()){
            File file = new File (Bukkit.getWorldContainer(), "worldName");
            file.delete();
        }
    }

 

Didn't work, changed the "worldName" to the exact name of the folder but didn't delete anything, the solution I had deletes everything except a few region files.

 

You can't delete directories like that. There are plenty of recursive methods that delete directories, including one in the apache commons FileUtils class.

 

First you need to unload the world (Does not always work) There must be no players in the world to unload it.

Code:java

public static void unloadMap(String mapname){
        if(Bukkit.getServer().unloadWorld(Bukkit.getServer().getWorld(mapname), false)){
            plugin.getLogger().info("Successfully unloaded " + mapname);
        }else{
            plugin.getLogger().severe("COULD NOT UNLOAD " + mapname);
        }
    }

Next you will delete the world.

Code:java

File f = new File(Bukkit.getWorldContainer() + "/" + worldName);
        if(f.exists()){
            try{
            f.delete();
            }catch(IOException e){
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }

 

Garris0n though I could have added a bit to my reply to this post, my delete method was a bit sketchy only cause it was by memory, I know there are other ways of doing it, that was what had came to mind at the current time.
