My problem is that I have an app which is writing a lot of relatively (100-500kb) small CSV files (tens and hundreds of thousands ). Content of those files then get loaded in database via sql loader call (its oracle db) and this is what I have to live with.
So, I need to remove those small files time to time to prevent them from eating up all space. I would like to attach that to the activity which writes those files and loads them into db as a last finalize step.
My Question is -- how in java can one remove a bunch of small files with less overhead on performance?
Thanks in advance! Michael
Well, file.delete() should suffice (it is internally implemented as a native method)
