Delete management

Kostas

Hello I have a loop in which if the statement is TRUE I want to delete the last element and add the new. I am posting a part of the code because as many times I tried it, still it doesn't delete the shp and the rasters. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

elif arithmos >= valueslist[num_pnts2 - 1]:
     OM = n - 1
     #VIEWSHED = "view" + str(OM)
     #POINT = "point" + str(OM) + ".shp"
     arcpy.Delete_management("point" + str(OM) + ".shp", "")
     arcpy.Delete_management("view" + str(OM), "")

In a few words at this part of the code, the last element will be for n=4 ,view4 and I want to delete the (OM = 4-1  =>  OM = 3)  view3.

     OM = n - 1
     featureclasses = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses("point" + str(OM) + ".shp")
     rasters = arcpy.ListRasters("view" + str(OM))
     for f in featureclasses:
         arcpy.Delete_management(f)
     for r in rasters:
         arcpy.Delete_management(r)
