So you have developed an awesome HL7 interface channel using Mirth and you are using a JavaScript Transformer to manipulate some files on the file system.

This wont work , you will receive a java-script error not pass Go and NOT receive 200 Pounds! What you have to actually do is call straight to the Java io File class and run the file delete call that way.
