Delete Files

Delete a file or directory

Python example:

sandbox.files.remove("/tmp/project/output.log")

TypeScript example:

await sandbox.files.remove("/tmp/project/output.log");

Before deleting a directory, confirm the path to avoid removing the entire workspace by mistake:

Python example:

exists = sandbox.files.exists("/tmp/project/output.log")

if exists:
    sandbox.files.remove("/tmp/project/output.log")

TypeScript example:

const exists = await sandbox.files.exists("/tmp/project/output.log");

if (exists) {
  await sandbox.files.remove("/tmp/project/output.log");
}

Recommendations

If the full sandbox will be terminated when the task ends, you usually do not need to delete temporary files one by one. Proactive cleanup is mainly useful for long-lived sandboxes or when multiple tasks run in the same sandbox.
