# File.TryDelete

Try delete through the File runtime.

Package: runtime.File | Status: registered-intrinsic

Tags: builtin, cpu, file, yeho

Built into Yeho; no package import is needed. Native services require an admitted host and the correct resource lifecycle.

```yh
File.TryDelete(text path) -> bool
```


## Call File.TryDelete

A complete typed caller with illustrative arguments. Native operations need the corresponding host and resources.

Verification: type checked

```yh
text path = "path"
bool result = File.TryDelete(path)
Console.Log(Text.From(result))

```

Save this beside start.yh as project.mech:

```toml
manifestVersion = "2"
package = "api.example.runtime__file_trydelete"
version = "0.1.0"
languageEdition = "yeho-core-2026.1"

[app]
kind = "headless"

```

Extract the example archive beside the yeho and dolphin checkouts. This example requires those source dependencies and a current developer compiler.

```sh
./yeho/build/dolphin-metal/yehoc ./api-examples/runtime--File.TryDelete/usage --backend cpu-oracle -o /tmp/yeho-example
/tmp/yeho-example
```


The example checks the call shape. Opening windows, recording audio, changing files, network operations, and process operations have real effects when run. Follow the corresponding package lifecycle before using live resources.
