Java Sound

Question

Hi
I am worte this programe which will play a Sound File(.wav) from the directory called FileCheck and delete that file from the directory.
But it's playing the .wav file but not deleting the file from the directory. Please let me know what could be the reason.
If anyone know the answer please modify the program and reply me.

Answer 1

ok try this
after this line
String str[] = f.list();
add this line
f=null;
similarly after this line
boolean result = ff.delete();
add this
ff=null;
