Hi folks, I've been stuck on this for ages. Hopefully someone might have some tips. I have some code to delete a .shp file.
arcpy.env.workspace = "C:/check"
ws = arcpy.env.workspace
in_data = "Folklore.shp"
data_type = ""
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True
arcpy.Delete_management(in_data, data_type)
arcpy.Delete_management('Folklore.shp')
The shp file just won't delete. It seems to make it stop working but not delete. It is a points shp file. This code works fine if I delete a polygon shp file. So I don't think it is a problem with the code. Does anybody know of any particular issues with deleting certain types of shp files. There are no lock files. And ArcMAP and ArcCatalog are closed.
